Cloud Hosting & Maintenance
Managed cloud hosting is running your website or system on cloud infrastructure that somebody else sizes, secures, monitors, patches and backs up on your behalf.
Your site went down on a Friday night and you found out from a customer. Nobody is sure who has the server password. The invoice is three times what it should be for the traffic you get, and the last security update was applied by whoever built it.
We choose and run the right infrastructure for what your system actually does — not the largest option available. That means sizing against your real traffic, setting up automated deployment so releases stop being an event, monitoring uptime and performance with alerts that reach a person, applying security patches on a schedule, and taking backups that we periodically restore to prove they work. You keep ownership of the accounts throughout: the infrastructure is in your name, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you want.
What you get
- Infrastructure sized against your real traffic, on your own cloud account
- SSL, security headers, firewall and DDoS protection configured properly
- Uptime and performance monitoring with alerts that reach a human
- Automated deployment, and a staging environment that mirrors production
- Scheduled security patching and dependency updates
- Automatic backups with a documented — and periodically tested — restore
- A monthly report: uptime, performance, incidents, spend
Who this is for
Anyone running a site or system that matters commercially and has nobody whose job it is to keep it up — especially teams paying for oversized hosting or unsure when it was last patched.
Questions about this service
What does managed hosting include?
Sizing and configuring the infrastructure, securing it, monitoring uptime and performance, applying security patches, running backups and testing that they restore, and reporting on all of it monthly. In short: everything needed to keep the system up, done by someone whose job it is.
Do you host our site or do we?
The cloud account is in your name and the infrastructure belongs to you — we manage it. That means you are never held hostage: you can revoke our access or move to another provider at any point, and nothing of yours is trapped on our account.
Can you take over hosting for a site somebody else built?
Yes, and it is common. We start with an audit — what it runs on, what is out of date, what is exposed, what it costs — then either take over the existing setup or migrate it somewhere more appropriate, with the findings shared with you either way.
