What Makes GreenStack Special?

GreenStack isn't just another hosting platform. Built on Docker Swarm and powered by 100% renewable energy, it delivers enterprise-grade infrastructure at prices that make high-availability hosting accessible to businesses of all sizes. Whether you're running a small business site or a high-traffic enterprise application, GreenStack scales with your needs.

Introducing GreenStack Pro: Power Meets Affordability

Our Pro package is designed for businesses that need reliability without compromise. Here's what sets it apart:

High Availability by Design

GreenStack Pro runs your site across 2 replicas in physically separate datacentres. This isn't just redundancy for the sake of it; it's intelligent infrastructure that keeps your site running even when things go wrong. If one server experiences issues or we're performing maintenance, your visitors are seamlessly redirected to another replica. No downtime, no disruption.

We back this up with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your site will be there when your customers need it.

Load-Balanced Performance: Built to Handle the Unexpected

Traffic spikes shouldn't bring your site to its knees; but with other hosting platforms, they often do. A viral social media post, a successful marketing campaign, or even just regular seasonal peaks can overwhelm a single server, leaving your visitors staring at slow page loads or error messages.

GreenStack Pro eliminates this problem entirely. Incoming requests are distributed intelligently across your replicas, ensuring consistent performance even during peak times. When traffic surges, your infrastructure automatically handles the load across multiple servers instead of choking a single one.

And here's the game-changer: no noisy neighbours. On shared hosting on other platforms, other sites on your server can impact your performance. Someone else's traffic spike or poorly optimised application can slow down your site. With GreenStack Pro's load-balanced architecture, you're insulated from these issues. Your replicas work together to serve your traffic, not competing with dozens of other sites for resources.

Because we support Umbraco 17+, you also get full load-balanced backoffice support, your content editors can work efficiently even when your front-end is under heavy load. Marketing team launching a campaign while editors are updating content? No problem.

Generous Resources

Pro includes everything you need to run a professional Umbraco site:

  • 30GB disk space for your application, media, and files

  • 5GB server memory for smooth performance

  • 10GB MSSQL database with the option to upgrade to Azure SQL

  • 10 custom domains so you can host multiple languages or brands

  • Unlimited bandwidth because we don't believe in nickel-and-diming you for traffic

Security & Performance at the Edge

Every Pro package includes Cloudflare's enterprise-grade protection:

  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block malicious traffic

  • DDoS protection at the edge, with additional datacentre-level protection for double-layer security

  • Global CDN to deliver your content faster to users worldwide

  • Free SSL certificates with automatic renewal

Sustainable Infrastructure

All our datacentres run on 100% renewable energy from wind, solar, and hydropower sources. Hosting with GreenStack means you're not just choosing performance, you're choosing a cleaner, greener future for the web.

Flexible Upgrades: Scale When You Need To

GreenStack Pro is powerful out of the box, but we know every business has unique needs. That's why we offer flexible upgrades:

Additional Replicas

Need even more capacity and resilience? Add extra replicas to your infrastructure. More replicas mean:

  • Greater traffic handling capacity

  • Increased redundancy for mission-critical sites

  • Better geographic distribution for global audiences

Azure SQL Databases with Failover

Upgrade from standard MSSQL to Azure SQL databases for enterprise-grade data protection. Azure SQL gives you:

  • An option for automatic failover capabilities

  • Enhanced performance and scalability

  • Point-in-time restore

  • Advanced security features

Increased Memory and CPU

As your application grows, you can scale your resources up without moving to a completely new package. Increase memory and CPU limits to match your performance requirements.

From Core to Scale: The Complete Range

GreenStack Core

Perfect for smaller sites, development environments, or businesses just getting started with Umbraco. Core gives you solid performance with modern infrastructure at an accessible entry point.

Core includes:

  • Single server deployment

  • 15GB disk space

  • 1GB server memory

  • 2GB MSSQL database

  • 5 custom domains

  • All the same security and CDN features as Pro

  • 100% renewable energy

GreenStack Scale: Dedicated Performance

For high-traffic sites and enterprise applications that demand the absolute best, Scale offers fully customisable infrastructure with dedicated nodes.

No noisy neighbours. No resource contention. Just pure, dedicated performance.

While Pro offers excellent isolation and performance, Scale takes it further with servers exclusively reserved for your applications. Your resources are guaranteed and never shared with other customers—perfect for mission-critical applications where performance cannot be compromised under any circumstance.

Scale features:

  • 3+ replicas across multiple datacentres

  • Dedicated nodes for guaranteed resources

  • 60GB+ disk space (fully customisable)

  • 5GB+ server memory (fully customisable)

  • 250GB+ Azure SQL database with failover as standard

  • 25 custom domains

  • Complete flexibility to build the exact infrastructure you need

Scale packages are fully bespoke; contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we'll design the perfect hosting environment for your application.

Do You Really Need Dedicated?

Here's the thing: we offer dedicated nodes because some organisations genuinely need them. Compliance requirements, data sovereignty regulations, or corporate policies that mandate dedicated infrastructure, these are all valid reasons to choose Scale.

But here's what we're not going to do: push you toward expensive dedicated hosting because our shared infrastructure can't handle the load or because "noisy neighbours" are degrading your performance.

GreenStack Pro is designed so well that most businesses simply won't need dedicated servers. The load-balanced architecture, intelligent resource allocation, and infrastructure isolation mean you get predictable, reliable performance on shared hardware. We're not papering over performance problems by upselling you to dedicated, we've actually solved the problems that make dedicated necessary on other platforms.

Traffic spikes? Pro handles them. Resource contention? Pro's architecture eliminates it. Noisy neighbours? Not on our infrastructure.

Save dedicated for when you genuinely need it for compliance or data residency reasons, not because it's the only way to get decent performance. That's the GreenStack difference.

Your Questions Answered: Comprehensive FAQs

We've added extensive FAQs to the GreenStack page covering everything you need to know:

No Docker Experience Required

One of the most common concerns we hear is "Do I need to learn Docker?" The answer is simple: not at all. We've handled all the Docker complexity for you. Your developers can build and develop exactly as they normally would, using their preferred tools and workflows. We provide pre-configured Dockerfiles and GitHub Actions workflows (other CI/CD YAML files to follow soon after launch) that are ready to go and fully documented.

Migration Made Simple

Moving to GreenStack is straightforward. Our expert team handles the technical details and guides you through every step. Your developers don't need any Docker or infrastructure experience; we take care of everything to ensure a smooth transition.

Container Registry Support

At launch, GreenStack supports GitHub Container Registry, with plans to add DockerHub, Azure Container Registry, GitLab Container Registry, and self-managed registries soon.

Persistent Storage

Mounts provide persistent storage that keeps your data safe even when containers are updated or restarted. Need extra mounts for media libraries or uploaded files? We'll configure them for your environment.

Regional Availability

At launch, we're offering shared hosting in Europe (Germany). Dedicated node options are available in the United Kingdom, United States, Singapore, and Finland. We're actively expanding our shared hosting regions, contact us if you need hosting in a specific location.

Why Load Balancing Matters

Single-server hosting is a single point of failure. Server maintenance? Downtime. Hardware issue? Downtime. Traffic spike? Slowdowns or crashes.

Load balancing changes this equation entirely. With GreenStack Pro and above, your site is always running on multiple servers simultaneously. This means:

  • Zero-downtime maintenance: We can update servers without affecting your site

  • Automatic failover: Hardware issues are invisible to your visitors

  • Better performance under load: Traffic is distributed intelligently

  • Geographic redundancy: Your replicas run in physically separate locations

For business-critical sites, this isn't a luxury—it's essential infrastructure.

Zero-Downtime Deployments

We've designed every aspect of GreenStack around availability, and that includes your deployments. When you push updates to your site, GreenStack uses phased rollouts across your replicas to ensure continuous availability.

Here's how it works:

  1. Your new version is deployed to one replica at a time

  2. The load balancer continues directing traffic to the running replicas

  3. Once a replica is updated and healthy, the next one begins its update

  4. Your site remains fully accessible throughout the entire deployment process

This means you can deploy updates during business hours without worrying about taking your site offline. No maintenance windows, no "please check back later" messages, just seamless updates that your visitors never notice.

Combined with our load-balanced infrastructure, phased rollouts give you the confidence to deploy frequently and iterate quickly, knowing your site will stay online throughout the process.

Support That Actually Helps

We're proud of our 5-star rated support team. With typical resolution times of just 20 minutes, our Umbraco Certified Masters and MVP developers respond quickly to keep your site running smoothly. We proactively monitor all services, identifying and resolving potential issues before they impact your visitors.

Unlike other hosting providers where support is an afterthought, our team genuinely understands Umbraco and can help with both hosting and application-level questions.
