Umbraco 7
Hosting

We host Umbraco 7, and you don't need to upgrade first. Sites run on Windows Server and IIS, on .NET Framework 4.5 through 4.7.2 with SQL Server, from our US, UK or EU locations. Migration is free, whether you're coming from Umbraco Cloud or another provider, and plans start at $27.38 per month. Planning ahead? Compare your upgrade options.

Umbraco Cloud is moving Umbraco 7 projects to dedicated hosting on January 1, 2027, and ending hosting for them on January 1, 2028. UmbHost has no shutdown date for Umbraco 7.

Our Standard Features

.NET Framework &
.NET

Full version coverage from the original .NET Framework 2.0 through to modern .NET 10. The reason we maintain Legacy hosting on Windows Server is so older Umbraco sites can keep running on the runtime they were built for.

  • .NET Framework 2.0 (Umbraco v4-6)
  • .NET Framework 3.5 (Umbraco v6-7)
  • .NET Framework 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 (Umbraco v7-8)
  • .NET 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (Umbraco v9-12)

  • Renewable-powered datacentres across all locations

Renewable-Powered
Datacentres

Every datacentre we use is renewable-powered - wind, solar, and hydropower, paired with energy-efficient hardware. We chose our partners specifically because of their renewable commitments, not despite them.

Beyond renewable-powered datacentres, Ecologi carbon offsetting and tree planting cover the rest for every customer. 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.

Umbraco 7 hosting
questions

What teams running Umbraco 7 ask us most often.

Yes. We run Umbraco 7 as-is on .NET Framework and IIS, and we never set an upgrade deadline. When you upgrade, if ever, is your call.

Umbraco Cloud is moving Umbraco 7 projects to dedicated hosting on January 1, 2027, and ending hosting for them on January 1, 2028, at which point those sites stop working there. Moving to UmbHost before then keeps your site online. Our Umbraco Cloud alternative page covers the details.

Umbraco released its last Umbraco 7 update on September 30, 2023, so the CMS no longer gets security patches. We offset that with isolated application pools, a web application firewall, patched Windows servers, and active monitoring, and we'll be upfront when upgrading is the smarter move.

Yes. We handle the files, database, and media, test everything with you, and walk you through the DNS cutover, at no charge.

There's no in-place upgrade from Umbraco 7 to a current version. Content goes to Umbraco 8 first, then onto a modern .NET release. Our team can scope and run the upgrade, and we can host the finished site on GreenStack.
