How to start
We migrate what you already have
We set up a copy next to your current application, you review it at your own pace and only then do we switch the domain.
You start from scratch
We get an environment with Payload up and running, with the domain and the certificate ready for your team to start coding.
Frequently asked questions about hosting
Will I have an instance just for me?
Yes. Your application is not shared with other customers. It has its own copy of the software, its own configuration and its own data, and nobody else gets in.
Is this shared hosting?
No. On shared hosting, many websites run inside the same software and split the same limits. Here every application runs apart, with resources of its own.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. You can use app.yourcompany.com or whatever domain you like. You only have to prove it is yours with a DNS record and point it at us.
- Databases and services
How does the HTTPS certificate work?
It is issued on its own once the domain points at us, and renewed on its own before it expires. You never have to buy it or remember it.
- Databases and services
I have no domain. Can you register one for me?
Yes. We register domains and run their DNS, so everything stays in one place.
- Databases and services
Where is my data?
If we host it, in data centres in the European Union. If the application runs on your company's servers, the data stays wherever those servers are.
Can you install the application on my company's servers?
Yes, through consulting. We install it on your infrastructure and, if you hire us to, we look after it.
Who takes care of updates?
If you hire maintenance, we do, security updates first. If the code is your own, your team updates it and we update the environment it runs on: the language version and the system. Without maintenance, you decide when to update.
What happens if something goes down?
If you hire incident response, the alert reaches us and we take care of getting it running again, whether it is the application, the database or a service.
What happens if traffic grows or I run a campaign?
We set up autoscaling so resources grow with traffic on their own. Alternatively, we can keep resources fixed and adjust them by hand when traffic peaks at particular times. In that case, if a campaign is coming, let us know and we'll get ready beforehand.
I already have it hosted somewhere else. Can you migrate it?
Yes. We set up a copy alongside and test it with you. For a website or an application, we switch the DNS when you are happy, without stopping the service; for a database, we copy the data, check that it adds up and point your application at it, with a short pause if needed.
Is there a minimum term?
No, not by default. If getting started takes a migration or a lot of work, we can offer to do it for free in exchange for a minimum term.
Do you offer support in my language?
Yes. A technical team answers your tickets, natively in Spanish, Valencian and English, and in other languages with the help of machine translation.
Do you host software that is not on the list?
Yes, almost anything that runs on a server, including the application your team has built. Tell us what you have and we will tell you how.
