Is phpMyAdmin secure?

phpMyAdmin is protected by authentication. We recommend restricting it to a specific IP or exposing it only through a VPN for production servers.

Can I run MariaDB and PostgreSQL on the same VPS?

Yes. Both listen on different ports (3306 and 5432) and do not interfere. A 4 GB VPS can host both comfortably.
