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.

What versions of Umbraco can you host?

Legacy hosting supports Umbraco v4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.

For Umbraco 13+, we recommend GreenStack which offers:

  • Dedicated Azure SQL (vs shared SQL Express)

  • Containerized infrastructure (vs shared Windows)

  • UmbPanel control panel (vs SolidCP)

  • GitHub Actions CI/CD integration

  • Modern platform with active development

Legacy hosting is ideal for Umbraco v4-12 which cannot run on GreenStack's containerized infrastructure.

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 is worth it for the performance improvement alone.

Yes, we fully support Umbraco 17 on our platform.
