Is it possible to use a Postgre database for application installation?

It is possible to use a PostgreSQL database for all applications that support this database type.

The installation is not in anyway different from installation using a MySQL database. You just need to specify the database type you are using.

For example, in Drupal there is a radio button which you can use to specify which database type you want to use - mysql or pgsql. From this point on you need to use the previously created PostgreSQL database and the username added to it for the script installation.

cPanel is easy to work with when you have the right host to support you. If you need a reliable partner to help you manage your website with cPanel, check out our cPanel hosting services!
