Fully Managed Applications
Take your website to the next level. Maybe you have outgrown your hosting plan, or you just want to have a flexible platform for future growth. Using our platform you can grow and scale without any hassle.
Independent Infrastructure
Using our application platform your setup is fully isolated, meaning you're not affected by other users which can be the case with other hosting services. Each service you deploy, be it Apache or MySQL, is individual and customised exclusivly for your needs.
Built to Scale
We have designed the platform to have a high level of redundancy with processing and data storage separated onto different hardware. Furthermore, you have the ability to migrate environments to new hardware with zero downtime.
Clustered Environments
Automatically deploy a range of services within a clustered environment. For example, WordPress can be deployed with multiple web servers, behind one or more load balancers, connected to a database cluster with shared storage, to provide the ultimate scalability and redundancy.
Application Marketplace
If you don't want to build your application manually, we have a large marketplace of pre-designed templates which can be deployed in minutes. These include the most popular content management systems, e-commerce packages and project management platforms.
Automatic Backups
Safeguarding data is very important to all businesses. We backup your entire environment every 24 hours for free!
Only pay for what you use
Our platform has been designed so that you only pay for your actual usage on an hour by hour basis. This means you can start small without worrying about expensive bills, knowing that you can scale up in the future.
