Hosting & infrastructure

Delivering an application is not enough: it also has to run, hold up under load, and have someone looking after it. We provide hosting and operation as part of our projects, in Swiss datacentres — Geneva, Lausanne or Zurich.

What we offer

  • Web and email hosting on fast, automated servers
  • Dedicated virtual servers (VPS), for isolated hosting at a contained cost
  • Hosting and maintenance of your own dedicated servers
  • High availability, redundancy and load balancing, including databases under write load
  • Backup and replication of virtual machines
  • Bespoke architectures where standard offerings do not fit

Operations

Hosting relies on datacentre infrastructure and operations run by our sister company, which specialises in exactly that. For you nothing changes: the people who designed and built the solution stay responsible for keeping it running.

It is also what lets us take on architectures a plain hosting provider will not: load balancing with redundant dynamic data, test environments aligned with production, or regulatory constraints on where data resides.
