Find Your Perfect Package
Choosing the right Umbraco hosting shouldn't feel like detective work. While some providers tuck away crucial technical specifications in documentation pages or push you toward expensive dedicated plans when you outgrow their shared limits, we believe transparency comes first. GreenStack is designed to scale with you on our resilient platform, so you only need dedicated hosting if you have specific data residency requirements, not because you've hit arbitrary resource limits. Below you'll find a straightforward comparison with every spec clearly laid out, no surprises, no fine print, no hidden constraints. Whether you're running a simple brochure site or a complex multi-site installation, you deserve to know exactly what you're getting before you commit. Compare the facts and decide for yourself.

FAQs
Here are the essentials about our platform, pricing tiers, and customization options to help you make the right choice.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely! If our standard packages don't quite fit your requirements, contact us to discuss GreenStack Scale, our fully customisable enterprise solution.
