ClickHouse is single-node easy and cluster-shaped hard: replicas, shards and backups must be designed. If you measure queries in seconds today, self-hosting the analytics store on a spare box is where that complexity lands. DockHosting runs it managed and reachable over the private network.
| Feature | DockHosting | a self-hosted ClickHouse cluster |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Create ClickHouse in the dashboard - ready in seconds | Install, configure and secure it on a server yourself (hours) |
| Backups | Daily automatic backups on paid plans, kept 3 to 30 days | Backup scripts you schedule, store and test yourself |
| Upgrades & patches | Platform applies release and security updates | apt/yum upgrades on production when you remember |
| Access from apps | Private-network connection string injected as DATABASE_URL | Open ports, firewalls and your own access policies |
| Storage | 500 MB free, up to 20 GB on Team - no disk to resize | A disk you size, watch and grow yourself |
| Cost | Included in the $0-$19/mo plans (1 on Free, up to 15 on Team) | VPS + storage + the engineering time to run it |
The bottom lineAnalytical workloads get the operations handled - backups on paid plans, patching and private networking - so your app and reports stay next to the data without a cluster to run.
