Foundation Managed Hosting

A managed server for a site or application that needs to stay up without someone in-house watching it. We provision it, patch it, back it up, monitor it, and answer when something breaks. Foundation is the entry tier: one production environment, business-hours response.

What you get

  • One managed server, sized with you and provisioned on your cloud account or ours
  • Operating system and runtime patching on a scheduled window
  • Nightly off-site backups with a tested restore path
  • Uptime and certificate monitoring with alerting
  • Business-hours support for anything running on it

What this does not cover

  • Application code changes — see Software maintenance
  • Out-of-hours incident response, which starts at Business Critical — every tier is monitored around the clock, but being watched and being answered are different things

Who it fits

A single production site or app with predictable traffic. If someone has to answer outside business hours, that is Business Critical.
