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’ve got you covered. Daily automated backups come free with all our paid web hosting packages.

Yes!

Legacy hosting is designed for Umbraco v4-12. While v13-17 can technically run on this platform, we strongly recommend GreenStack for these versions, you'll get a dedicated Azure SQL database instead of shared SQL Express, plus modern containerized infrastructure.

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

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.

We're proud to have a track record of 5-star reviews on Trustpilot,
with clients consistently praising our service and support across both
GreenStack and legacy hosting platforms.
