  4. Using MS Excel and realise you have so many limitations
  5. Using MS Access database but realise you cannot really deploy it online for your other branches to access
  6. Thinking of hiring a Microsoft Certified Database Administrator but hindered by the cost
  7. Getting a website that comes with database but realise database functionalities are limited

How much does it cost?

With Cloud Databases, you are simply renting from zimHosts.com. Hardware, software, maintenance, overhead costs and all support will be handled by us so as to give you a piece of mind. All you pay is $25/month rental space and this also covers your hosting as well. If you prefer to do an outright purchase of the database so that you own it and do not constantly pay monthly charges then you are free to do so and pricing will depend on the complication of the database starting from $250
NOTE: A once off setup fee applies from $20 depending on how completed your database requirements are else you can just get one of our out of the box database if it suits your needs (and we are continuously designing and adding more and more different database types) 

What is the next step if I am happy?

If you have tried our demo here and are happy with the basic features then get in touch with us so we do a consultation of your scenario which will help us to formulate the ERD model to help us setup your database structural design based on your relational model. If you still using papers and files we will still be able to convert that into a model then database. We can still convert your access or oracle database etc into the database we best work with- MySQL
