Dedicated servers run in the United States and Brazil: US East (Virginia), US West (Oregon), and South America (São Paulo). Always on, region-pinned, single-tenant, with no database or branch caps on the box. The only limits are the server's memory and storage.

What's included
Hardware that is yours alone
- A single-tenant VM that runs only your databases
- All engines, Standard and Performance
- Client-certificate (mTLS) authentication
- 30-day rolling backups
- Team seats you can add as you grow
- Egress included on the US servers, no bandwidth metering

A dedicated server is standalone: everything above lives on the box itself. The shared cloud comes with Pro at $15/mo, which you can run alongside a dedicated server on the same bill.
Compared to Supabase, on one bill
Supabase is a Postgres-only platform. Its Large compute tier gives you an 8 GB Postgres for roughly $125/mo once you add the Pro plan and subtract the org-wide compute credit. Our $65 Dedicated 8GB server covers that same Postgres plus a cache, a dedicated search engine, and a second database on one box: a full stack that on Supabase spans multiple vendors.
| Supabase (+ third parties) | Layerbase | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 GB Postgres | Pro $25/mo + Large compute (8 GB, 2-core ARM) ~$110/mo, minus the $10 org-wide compute credit = ~$125/mo | Included on the $65 Dedicated 8GB server |
| Cache (Valkey / Redis) | Not native; Upstash ~$10/mo (illustrative) | Runs natively on the same box |
| Dedicated search | Not native; a container host such as Railway, ~$5-25/mo (illustrative) | Meilisearch, always awake |
| Second database | A second Supabase project, from ~$10/mo of compute | Just another database on the box |
| Full-stack total | ~$150-170/mo across three vendors | $65/mo on one bill |
| Disk past 8 GB | $0.125/GB/mo | Included in the volume |
| Idle free tier | Pauses after 1 week idle, manual restore | Wake-on-connect, no manual restore |

Like for like, this compares one single-node database on each side. A Layerbase dedicated server is one node with no standby or replica, and a Supabase compute add-on is one instance too: read replicas there are billed as additional dedicated databases on top of the primary. Neither column includes high availability.
Third-party prices for a cache, search, and hosting are illustrative: Supabase does not offer them natively, so a full stack there spans multiple vendors and bills. The compute credit is applied once per organization, not per project.
Supabase is the better fit if you want its bundled Auth, Storage, and Realtime services around a single Postgres. This comparison is about running several database engines on one box, not about replacing that platform.
Prices verified September 7, 2026 against each vendor's own pricing pages: Supabase, Upstash, Railway.
The economics
Consolidate several serverless bills into one flat rate
Modern stacks spread a handful of managed databases across separate serverless vendors, each with its own metered bill. The costs are individually reasonable and collectively surprising.
A worked example
Say a team runs Postgres on Neon, search on Algolia, and a Redis-style cache on Upstash, and pays roughly $200/mo across the three. On a dedicated server, all three live on a single box: Postgres and the cache run natively, and Meilisearch drops in as a fast, self-hostable replacement for Algolia-style search. Depending on how much speed and capacity you want, that consolidated setup typically lands between $65 and $120/mo, and because the whole machine is yours, you usually come out with more storage and better performance than the metered services you replaced, not less.
The savings are real, but the point is not only the price. It is one bill, one place to manage everything, one set of backups, and headroom you control instead of quotas you bump into.
FAQ
Dedicated server questions
Does a dedicated server include the shared cloud?
No. A dedicated server is standalone: everything you run lives on the box, with no database or branch caps beyond its memory and storage. If you also want the shared cloud for dev and staging, that is the Pro plan at $15/mo, and it runs alongside a dedicated server on one bill.
How long does provisioning take?
You pick a location and region and pay at checkout, then your server is provisioned automatically. A US server is usually ready in 15 to 30 minutes and always within the hour. A server in São Paulo builds from a bare image and takes about 30 minutes, still within the hour. We email you the moment it is live, and from there you create databases on it like any other Layerbase database.
What happens to my server when I cancel?
There is no commitment: the flat price is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. When you cancel, billing stops at the end of the current cycle and the server is retired. Export or download your databases first, or reach out and we will help you move your data off before the server is decommissioned.
Can I run more than one dedicated server?
Yes. Servers stack on your one Layerbase bill: add as many dedicated servers as you need, each a separate single-tenant VM, all managed from the same dashboard and invoiced together.
Which regions can I choose?
Pick a location first, then a size. In the United States the 4GB and 8GB servers are available in US East (Virginia) and US West (Oregon), and the 16GB server is US East only for now while we confirm US West availability. In Brazil all three sizes run in South America (São Paulo), each with the monthly outbound transfer allowance shown on its card; US servers are not metered. Need another region? Email us and we will scope it.
Need something not listed?
Want a region or VM size outside this catalog, far more storage or memory, or a bespoke setup? Custom plans exist for exactly that. Tell us the engines you run, roughly how much storage and throughput you expect, and any constraints, and we will come back with a configuration and a flat monthly price.
