What Our Customers Say:

Find Your Perfect Package

Our legacy hosting packages run on dedicated Windows infrastructure built for stable, established Umbraco sites. UmbSmall and UmbOne suit single-server workloads on Umbraco v7, v8, and v10 onwards. SolidCP control panel, Azure SQL databases, web deploy and FTP, CI/CD supported, and standard CDN/WAF/SSL inclusions.

Umbraco Cloud is the product Umbraco HQ sells directly, including support for v7 and v8 until January 2027 when those projects move to Dedicated Resource plans.

The table below shows the spec differences between our packages and the equivalent Cloud tiers. If you're running v7 or v8 and considering options ahead of the forced migration, the Switch from Umbraco Cloud page covers the broader picture.

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.

We handle the migration end to end. We pull a backup from your Cloud environment, restore it onto our legacy infrastructure, reconfigure deployment, update DNS, and run a parallel cutover with minimal downtime. Free as part of onboarding. Most v7 and v8 migrations complete within a working week.

Depends on your project. If your site is stable, doesn't need active development, and you're happy running v7 or v8 long-term, legacy hosting is the right choice. If you're planning ongoing development, want the security improvements in modern Umbraco, or have outgrown shared resources, upgrading to v17 and moving to GreenStack is the better path. We'll talk through both options on a scoping call.

Cloud's Git, Kudu, and Umbraco Deploy workflow doesn't come across because it's Cloud-specific tooling. On our legacy packages you deploy via web deploy, FTP, or CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps. We'll set this up as part of the migration so your team keeps a working deployment path.

Yes. Isolated environments, automatic SSL, regular OS-level security patching, web application firewall, and proactive monitoring. Older Umbraco versions don't receive vendor security updates but the infrastructure layer can still be hardened. We've been doing this for sixteen years.

No long-term lock-in. We bill monthly with no minimum term.

No. Migrations are free as part of onboarding, including CI/CD setup.

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.
