Where is my data hosted?

On AWS in New Zealand or Australia, in the region we agree with you. Hosting, storage and backups stay inside that boundary.

Is there an uptime guarantee?

We don't sell an uptime SLA. We design for recovery instead, aiming for no more than an hour of lost data and a restore within four hours, and we monitor availability.

Who owns the AWS account?

For managed hosting, we do. If you'd rather own it, we can run the application in your own account.

Can you host an application someone else built?

Yes, after we've reviewed the code and how it's deployed today.

Do I need a maintenance plan as well?

We recommend one. Hosting covers the servers, and a maintenance plan covers the application's own updates.

Services/Managed hosting

Managed AWS hosting in New Zealand or Australia

We host Laravel applications on AWS in an account we manage, with your data kept in New Zealand or Australia. We look after deployment, monitoring, patching, backups and recovery. When something goes wrong, you talk to developers who know the code.

Talk about hosting Explore the service

Data stays local

Hosting, storage and backups stay inside New Zealand or Australia.

Recovery planned

We design for no more than an hour of lost data and a restore within four hours.

Locked-down access

Server access goes through Teleport, with no password logins and no direct database access.

SSL handled

We issue and renew certificates. You keep your domain, and we make DNS changes with delegated access.

Hosting

Three hosting setups

Prices are a starting point. We confirm the setup once we know the application and the people using it.

Standard
From $135 a month
A single server with a database and backups.
Up to about 100 people using it at once.
Robust
From $340 a month
A load balancer in front of three or more servers.
More than 100 concurrent users, or high uptime requirements.
Enterprise
From $2,000 a month
Infrastructure designed around your requirements, including your own VPC. We design it first, then confirm the price.
Custom security or scale needs.

How it works

From setup to running

How we move an application onto our hosting and look after it from there.

Week 1
Size it
We look at the application and its users, and agree the region and setup.
Hosting plan
Setup
Build and move
We set up servers, database, backups and SSL, then move the application across.
Live environment
Every change
Deploy
Each change goes through a pull request, and automated checks and tests run before it deploys.
Tested release
Ongoing
Run
We monitor errors and availability, apply server patches and report back.

How it fits together

How your application runs

Your application runs on a patched and monitored server in AWS, with its database, background jobs and backups beside it. Uptime checks run day and night and alert us when something needs attention.

Your application on a patched and monitored managed server on AWS, with background jobs, scheduled tasks, a cache, the database, and backups with restore in four hours. Uptime checks run day and night and on-call alerts reach us.

With maintenance

Hosting and maintenance work together

Hosting keeps the servers running. A maintenance plan keeps the application on top of them patched and up to date. We price them separately so the same work is never charged twice.

Your own AWS account

Prefer to own the account? We can run the application in your AWS account or on Laravel Cloud.

Security testing

Internal security review and automated scanning are included. Penetration testing is available as an extra.
