On their managed servers you can install data bases via KonsoleH and they manage it. (Never used the managed servers myself. MySQL and PostgreSQL?)

The webhosting packages also include 1..unlimited DBs (MySQL and PostgreSQL)

> install data bases

does it have automatic backup and fail over?

Looks like it has backups, to an extent [1]:

> With booked daily backup or the backup included in the type of server, all data is backed up daily and retained for a maximum of 14 days. Recovery of backups (Restore) is possible via the konsoleH administration interface.

But i get the impression that the databases on managed servers are intended for use by apps running on that server, so there isn't really a concept of failover.
