About Us
About how UmbHost came to be, the direction we're heading and the reasoning beind our famous Open Source Developer Sponsorship Scheme
Who are we?
Where did we come from?
The hosting service offered by UmbHost has been around since 2009 under the previous name of TerrabitHost, prior to that it was known as Terrabit.Host, the rebrand into UmbHost was due to the service providing hosting to mainly Umbraco websites, and as such it was a natural progression to concentrate on this area of the market.
The rebrand into UmbHost was started in early 2021 by Aaron Sadler as a way to provide hosting services for small to medium sized websites, on the back of this it is also a way to sponsor Open Source Developers who create some truly amazing packages from the Umbraco CMS, at no additional cost to the account holder.
Where possible we try to use Open Source software and we aim to contribute back, whether this is by a sponsorship or by a pull request.
What are our plans?
Where are we heading?
We plan to build on our years of experience in the hosting industry to build a platform, which is fair, reliable, redundant and gives back to the wider open source community.
We listen to all feedback, and we use this to build our platform in the direction our customers would like, we are also happy to provide assistance to get our clients sites running on our platform, even if this includes getting hands on with the code.
We are based in the UK, with all of our team being UK based, however we have servers based in multiple countries around the world, currently there are Germany, United Kingdom and United States.

Supremely helpful. Just what you need when you're under pressure and don't need things to be any more difficult. Nothing was too much trouble. Much appreciated. Thanks!
Excellent customer service from online chat communication when I needed help deploying Umbraco CMS for the first time.
Great service and support. Setting up a new Umbraco site with a staging environment and transferring 2 domains has been super quick and easy.
I'll definitely keep using them for any future projects.
UmbHost Limited has gone above and beyond for a very long time now, always an excellent service and amazing value
I can totally recommend UmbHost for every one out there, who is looking for a new Umbraco hosting provider, no matter how small or big the websites are. The most amazing part about UmbHost is the support you get. No matter what issues you have, you always know that there is someone with a lot of Umbraco and Asp.net expertise, who supports you with patience, knowledge and a lot of tipps. Very hands on, friendly and 100% customer focused.
I am the owner of a big b2b platform with a large database and had no issues regarding the hosting. You get the package which fits the best to your needs and can rely on UmbHost.
Furthermore the performance of the website is awesome! Thank you!
Fast and responsive customer service. A comprehensive knowledge base is available that covers almost everything you need to help with deployments to the server, if there is a question not answered in the knowledgebase, you can raise a ticket and get an answer back pretty quick.
Server performance is very good, websites spin up very quickly.
They were so helpful every step of the way when I migrated my site to them from another hosting provider. I would highly recommend them.
UmbHost have been an excellent service from the outset. Great communication has been at the core, with informative and succinct meetings and very much a can-do approach to the design and interface requirements of our website.
Even though we at times were unsure of what we wanted, they remained patient and always available to help and give feedback. The resulting website PetersfieldCan.org we are delighted with. It looks great, navigation is easy and although we still have much to do with creating content, we feel uber confident that UmbHost will be on hand to provide support whenever required. Thank you!
UmbHost was the perfect fit for building our community website - very quick, knowledgeable and professional, and at the same time supportive and nice to deal with as we dealt with unfamiliar technical questions. I look forward to working with them as our web partner for a long time to come. Highly recommended.
Awesome service for a fantastic price
