Our Standard Features

.NET Framework &
.NET

Full version coverage from the original .NET Framework 2.0 through to modern .NET 10. The reason we maintain Legacy hosting on Windows Server is so older Umbraco sites can keep running on the runtime they were built for.

  • .NET Framework 2.0 (Umbraco v4-6)
  • .NET Framework 3.5 (Umbraco v6-7)
  • .NET Framework 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 (Umbraco v7-8)
  • .NET 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (Umbraco v9-12)

Powered by 100%
Renewable Energy

Every datacentre we use runs on 100% renewable energy - wind, solar, and hydropower, paired with energy-efficient hardware. We chose our partners specifically because of their renewable commitments, not despite them.

Beyond renewable infrastructure, we also offset carbon for every customer through our partnership with Ecologi. We commit 5% of every hosting fee to tree planting on your behalf - typically four or more trees per customer per month, at no additional cost to you.

Recognised in 2025 as Best Eco-Friendly Hosting & Development Provider at the SME News Awards, and runner-up for Green Business of the Year at the Petersfield Awards 2023.

Umbraco hosting
FAQs

Got questions about our Umbraco hosting? We’ve got you covered. Here are answers to some common queries about our secure, high-performance hosting and the features we include as standard.

Yes!

We can provide a starter YAML file for either GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps to build and deploy your website.

These can be used with Umbraco 7, 8, 9 and 10+

The steps our starter YAML CI/CD can carry out are:

  • Checkout (inc submodules)
  • Generate CSS from SASS
  • Build using MSBuild
  • Deploy using Web Deploy
  • Tag repo on completion

We are able to provide more advanced or custom CI/CD integrations on request.

Yes!

If you need limits higher than our predefined packages, simply open a support ticket to request an increase.

No.

We do not charge to migrate your website to our hosting, and we will handle everything for you, including the CI/CD integration.

Legacy hosting is designed for Umbraco v4 to v12.

Umbraco 13 to 17 can technically run on this platform too, but for those versions we recommend GreenStack - dedicated Azure SQL, modern containerised infrastructure, and a proper match for the platform Umbraco 13+ was designed for.

Database Performance:

  • GreenStack: Dedicated Azure SQL database (just for your site)

  • Legacy: SQL Express shared with 200+ other databases on the same server

The database performance difference alone is significant. You're not competing with hundreds of other sites for database resources.

Infrastructure:

  • GreenStack: Ubuntu Linux with Docker containerization

  • Legacy: Windows Server with shared resources

Control Panel:

  • GreenStack: UmbPanel (proprietary, actively developed)

  • Legacy: SolidCP (standard panel, maintenance mode)

Deployment:

  • GreenStack: CI/CD (pre-configured)

  • Legacy: Web Deploy / FTP (manual)

Platform Status:

  • GreenStack: Actively developed with continuous improvements

  • Legacy: Maintained for compatibility with older Umbraco versions

Support:

  • GreenStack: 1-hour priority response

  • Legacy: 4-hour standard response

For Umbraco 13+, GreenStack delivers significantly better infrastructure for your investment. Legacy hosting is designed for Umbraco v4-12 which cannot run on containerized infrastructure.

Yes, technically it works. Umbraco 13-16 can run on both Legacy and GreenStack.

However, we strongly recommend GreenStack for v13+ because:

  • You get a dedicated Azure SQL database instead of sharing SQL Express with 200+ sites

  • Modern containerized infrastructure instead of shared Windows hosting

  • UmbPanel control panel instead of SolidCP

  • 1-hour priority support instead of 4-hour standard

  • Platform that's actively developed instead of maintained

Legacy hosting makes sense if:

  • You're on Umbraco v4-12 (which can't run on GreenStack)

  • You have specific Windows Server dependencies

For most Umbraco 13+ sites, GreenStack Core is cheaper than UmbOne and comes with significantly better infrastructure.

Yes, on GreenStack. Umbraco 17 runs on .NET 10 and is fully supported on GreenStack.
