What does the cloud cost review involve?

Read-only access to your billing and usage. You get a written plan that shows where the money goes and what to change.

Who is this hosting for?

Small firms that want the systems we build kept up, backed up and patched, and small firms with no one watching their network.

How do you handle backups?

Backups come with a restore test, so you know a restore works before you need one.

Do you host systems you did not build?

Our hosting is offered for systems we build or run. If you have something else in mind, say so on the contact form and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

Managed cloud hosting for small business, with backups and patching

Once a system is built, someone has to keep it backed up and patched, and know that a restore works. We do that for the systems we build, and we review cloud bills that have grown too high.

Who this is for

Small firms that want the systems we build to stay up, backed up and patched. Also small firms with no one watching their network.

What we build

We set up and look after the following.

Hosting for the systems we build, on a public or a private cloud.
Backups with restore tests, so you know a restore works before you need one.
Security updates applied to the systems we host.
Compliance evidence collection, so you can show an auditor or a customer what is in place.
Cloud cost reviews that show where the money goes and what to change.

Where to start

Start with a checklist or a cost review

Either a 15-point backup, access and patching checklist you can work through yourself, or a read-only review of your cloud bill with a written plan.

If the checklist or the review shows gaps, you get a written plan and a quote for hosting, backups and patching.
