GreenStack load balanced
Umbraco hosting

Not at all! We've handled all the Docker complexity for you. You'll just need to use our pre-configured Dockerfile and GitHub Actions workflow, both are ready to go and documented in our knowledgebase.

Beyond that, you can build and develop your website exactly as you normally would, using your preferred tools and workflows. Your developers don't need any Docker experience; they can focus on what they do best: building great websites.

If you need any help getting set up, our support team is always here to guide you through it.

GreenStack is built on Docker Swarm and Ubuntu Linux industry-standard technologies that power some of the world's largest websites.

Your developers don't need to know these technologies though. We've handled all the setup and configuration so you can focus on building great Umbraco sites.

GreenStack Core supports all versions of Umbraco from version 10 onwards.

GreenStack Pro and Scale support Umbraco 17 and above. This is because load-balanced backoffice support was introduced in Umbraco 17, which is essential for our multi-replica architecture.

If you're running Umbraco 10-16 and need load balancing, we recommend upgrading to Umbraco 17 to take full advantage of GreenStack Pro's capabilities.

At launch GreenStack supports the GitHub Container Registry with plans to support the below registries soon:

• DockerHub

• Azure Container Registry

• GitLab Container Registry

• Self-managed container registries

Absolutely!

We've created a ready-to-use starter pipeline template that you can find in our knowledgebase:

GreenStack GitHub Actions Workflow

If you need assistance customizing it for your project, our support team is happy to help you get everything configured correctly.

GreenStack uses a standardised Dockerfile to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. You can download it from our knowledgebase:

Our support team can help you integrate it into your project if needed.

Replicas are copies of your website running at the same time in different locations. Think of it like having multiple versions of your site ready to serve visitors, if one has a problem, the others keep working seamlessly.

With GreenStack Pro and above, your site runs on at least two replicas in physically separate datacentres. This means better performance and automatic protection, if one server goes down, your visitors are instantly directed to another without any downtime.

Need to handle more traffic? You can add extra replicas to spread the load and keep everything running smoothly.

Yes! GreenStack fully supports load balancing the Umbraco backoffice with Umbraco 17 and above.

This means your editors can work efficiently even when your site is under heavy load or experiencing high traffic. Multiple replicas handle both your public-facing site and the backoffice, ensuring a smooth editing experience regardless of what's happening on the front end.

Load-balanced backoffice is available on Pro packages and above.

Absolutely! Upgrading from Core to Pro is straightforward and gives you instant access to load balancing across multiple locations.

If you need even more capacity or redundancy, you can add additional replicas beyond the standard two for a small monthly fee per replica. This is perfect for high-traffic sites or when you need maximum uptime guarantees.

Get in touch with our support team and we'll help you find the right configuration for your requirements.

Yes! You can purchase dedicated nodes within our datacentre regions for ultimate performance and control.

Dedicated nodes give you guaranteed resources that aren't shared with other customers, making them ideal for high-traffic sites or applications with specific performance requirements. They work seamlessly with GreenStack's load balancing—you can even combine dedicated and shared nodes in your configuration.

Contact our support team to discuss dedicated node options and pricing for your specific needs.

Yes! Mounts are persistent storage volumes that keep your data safe even when containers are updated or restarted. Unlike container storage which resets, mounted folders preserve your files permanently.

Need extra mounts for media libraries, uploaded files, or application data? Contact our support team and we'll configure them for your environment.

Absolutely! If our standard packages don't quite fit your requirements, contact us to discuss GreenStack Scale, our fully customisable enterprise solution.

We can build a unique package tailored to your specific needs, whether that's dedicated nodes, additional replicas, custom resource allocations, or specialised configurations. Our team will work with you to design the perfect hosting environment for your application.

At launch, we offer Europe (Germany) for shared hosting packages.

Dedicated node options are available in:

• United Kingdom

• United States

• Singapore

• Finland

We're actively expanding our shared hosting regions, contact us if you need hosting in a specific location and we'll discuss the best options for your requirements.

Absolutely! Free SSL certificates are included as standard with all packages, powered by Cloudflare's trusted certificate authority.

Your site gets automatic HTTPS with no configuration needed, we handle everything for you, including automatic renewals so your certificates never expire.

Core is our single-server package, perfect for smaller sites:

• 15GB storage

• 1GB server memory

• 2GB SQL database

• 5 custom domains

Pro adds load balancing and significantly more resources:

• 2 replicas across multiple datacentres

• 30GB storage

• 5GB server memory

• 10GB SQL database (with Azure SQL upgrade option)

• 10 custom domains

• Uptime guarantee

• Load-balanced infrastructure

Pro is ideal for business-critical sites that need high availability, automatic failover, and the peace of mind that comes with distributed infrastructure.

Yes! GreenStack Pro and Scale packages include a 99.9% uptime guarantee, backed by our load-balanced infrastructure across multiple physically separate datacentres.

Core is our entry-level package designed for smaller sites and development environments without an uptime guarantee. For production sites that need guaranteed availability and automatic failover, we recommend Pro or above.
