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.
Dedicated Umbraco hosting
FAQs
Questions about dedicated hosting? Below are the answers we give most often, covering what is included as standard on our high-performance servers.
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!
We can install your Azure DevOps agent onto your server, open a support ticket and provide the generated PowerShell command including the PAT and we will handle the rest for you.
Yes. Every paid dedicated package includes daily automated backups, with on-site and off-site copies as standard. Retention periods and customisation options are set out in the backups tile above.
No. Root and administrator access stays with our team, because dedicated is a fully managed service and your 99.9% SLA depends on us owning the configuration. Need software installed, a setting changed or a custom configuration applied? Raise a support ticket and our Certified Masters will take care of it, usually within hours.
If root or administrator access is a hard requirement, what you actually want is unmanaged colocation rather than fully managed dedicated hosting. We are happy to talk that through separately.
Fully managed means our team runs the entire operational layer of your server:
Initial setup: OS install, runtime configuration, control panel and security hardening
Ongoing maintenance: OS patches, security updates, performance tuning and capacity monitoring
Issue resolution: we watch your server proactively and fix problems before your visitors notice
Configuration changes: software installs, setting changes and custom configuration on request
Migration support: moving in from another host, between datacentres, or onto upgraded hardware
Your team concentrates on Umbraco and your application; ours looks after everything underneath.
