Cloud hosting 

With Umbraco Cloud, we want to remove (or hide) all the tedious and time-consuming tasks that you have to do on all projects, allowing you to focus on creating value for your customers.

The infrastructure is built on Microsoft Azure which provides a world-class foundation and traffic is routed via Cloudflare. 

This makes it possible to spin up new multi-environment projects in a matter of minutes, complete with TLS certificates, deployment workflows, automated upgrades, and more. No setup or tedious configuration, just useful functionality.

Media is hosted on Azure blob storage to provide flexible resource offerings and served with advanced caching capabilities through Cloudflare.

And then it’s all the benefits, flexibility, and editor-friendliness you get from Umbraco CMS. In fact, we call Umbraco Cloud the best home for your Umbraco website project.

Automated upgrades 

We keep your sites up to date with the latest patch release of Umbraco CMS - automatically (such as 9.1.X). Patch releases are where you find fixes for bugs as well as the latest security fixes.

For minor upgrades (such as 9.X.0) and major upgrades (such as X.0.0), you are required to test and approve the site in a separate environment - which can be done from the day of release. When ready, you upgrade the live environment with a single click. Upgrades are tested on clones of real customer sites before being rolled out. These releases are not automatic - but they are fairly close, saving you a ton of time when it comes to keeping your projects up to date with the latest features and improvements.

Automatic HTTPS/TLS 

Secure sites shouldn’t be a paid add-on. In Umbraco Cloud, it comes as a standard in your hosting solution. Many hosting providers ask for an extra fee to keep your sites' TLS certificates up to date - we won't. Via Cloudflare, we make sure to keep your site's HTTPS lock a reassuring green color for your visitors for one or multiple domain names. You can of course choose to use a custom certificate should this be a requirement.
