How it works
After delivery, hosting work remains: monitoring, updates and incidents. If you don't want to organise that within your agency, we take over platform operations.
We take over the operations of what you built. Monitoring, backups, updates, and incidents become our work. You keep developing. With Advanced, we also respond outside office hours to production P1 incidents: unavailability or data loss. Basis response times apply during office hours.
We invoice your agency or your client directly, depending on what we agree.

In practice since 2019
This is not a new program. Since 2019 we've been running production for a Dutch software house and for the clients that grew out of it: Spring Boot and Quarkus applications that simply need to stay up. Several of those clients later became direct customers of ours. The shop stayed the developer the whole time. And to be clear: we never approach your end clients ourselves. If a client changes route, it happens at the client's initiative and with you at the table.
Hosting for what you build
We run Java applications and websites for agencies. Choose the appropriate service for each client; management responsibilities and response times depend on that service.
WordPress and Craft for agencies
A managed hosting environment for one client site or your portfolio, including database, backups, monitoring and recovery. Your agency maintains the website and keeps the client relationship. See managed website hosting for agencies; we agree a fixed monthly price and any migration costs up front.
For custom Laravel or Symfony applications with workers, scheduled tasks or specific dependencies, we look at Managed Pods.
Java and other applications
From Spring Boot and Quarkus to Node.js and other workloads: we manage the platform layer, your team owns the application. Choose Managed Pods for managed containers or Managed Servers for a dedicated VM environment.
Dutch datacenters, our own hardware. The prices are right on the product pages: Pods from €100, Managed Servers from €300, Managed Pods from €350 (one workload all-in; up to 5 workloads for €750 plus capacity), Managed Clusters from €2,500 per month. We agree portfolio pricing separately. Any setup costs are included in the proposal.
