Where your Umbraco site is hosted affects its speed, security, cost and how easy it is to manage. As a certified Umbraco agency, we help you choose, set up, secure and run the right hosting for your site, whether that's Umbraco Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS or a managed VPS. We can host smaller sites ourselves, or manage and optimise hosting you already have. Not sure which platform is right? We'll give you a straight recommendation based on your site, budget and team.
Umbraco Hosting Options Compared
Umbraco Cloud
Best for teams who want the simplest, officially supported path. Built and run by Umbraco HQ and includes automatic upgrades, backups and deployment, with staging and live environments out of the box.
Microsoft Azure
Best for websites needing scale, custom infrastructure or Microsoft integration. Highly scalable with full control using an App Service, SQL, storage and CDN - ideal for enterprise solutions.
Amazon AWS
Best for teams already on AWS or needing specific AWS services. Highly scalable and flexible, with a huge service range and global infrastructure.
Managed VPS
Best for small to medium websites wanting simple, cost-effective, hands-off hosting. Predictable low cost - we handle the server, updates, backups and security.
Managed Umbraco Hosting
If you'd rather not deal with hosting at all, we can host your Umbraco site on our secure, managed virtual server. It's ideal for small to medium sites and includes server management, updates, security, backups and monitoring, so you have a single point of contact for both your site and its hosting. Larger or high-traffic sites are usually better on Umbraco Cloud, Azure or AWS, and we'll tell you honestly which is the better fit.
Already Have Hosting?
No problem. We're happy to work with your existing hosting on Umbraco Cloud, Azure, AWS or elsewhere: taking over management, improving security and performance, or simply supporting it alongside your team. If your current setup is holding your site back, we'll tell you what we'd change and why.
FAQs
It depends on your site's size, traffic, budget and how much you want to manage. Umbraco Cloud is the simplest, officially supported option; Azure and AWS suit sites needing scale or custom infrastructure; and a managed VPS is a cost-effective choice for small to medium sites. We'll look at your setup and give you a straight recommendation.
Umbraco Cloud is the official hosting platform built and run by Umbraco HQ. It handles upgrades, backups, deployment and staging and live environments for you, so there's no server administration. It's well worth it for teams that want the simplest supported path; larger sites sometimes get better value or control on Azure or AWS. As an Umbraco Silver Partner we work with Cloud every day and will tell you honestly whether it's the right fit.

It varies by platform. Umbraco Cloud is a fixed monthly subscription per site; Azure and AWS are usage-based and depend on your resources; our managed VPS is a predictable monthly fee. We'll help you estimate the real cost for your site and avoid paying for capacity you don't need.
