Choose how much we run for you
Cloud hosting and managed hosting are different products, so we make the split explicit. Buy the infrastructure on its own, add operating-system care, or hand us the whole stack.
Infrastructure only. You own the guest operating system.
- Hypervisor, hardware and London data centre
- Network, IP addressing and inbound DDoS protection
- Virtual machine provisioning and console access
- Platform availability SLA
Operating-system care added to a self-managed server.
- OS monitoring with UK engineers on the alerts
- Security patching in scheduled windows
- Hardening baseline and vulnerability remediation guidance
- Backup monitoring alongside a backup plan
We operate the server end to end under one SLA.
- Everything in self-managed plus managed OS
- 24/7 UK monitoring and response
- Managed nightly backups with tested restore
- Routine maintenance windows and a named UK engineer
