Your stack, run by senior engineers.
Every Hostander plan, VPS, dedicated or colocation, is fully managed by default. Senior EU Linux engineers handle the OS, the stack, the patches, the backups and the on-call. You focus on your product.
Nine things you no longer have to worry about
The full scope of fully managed hosting at Hostander.
OS install, hardening and patching
We install your operating system of choice, harden it against common threats (SSH, kernel, sysctl, firewall, fail2ban) and keep it patched against security advisories around the clock.
Web and database stack tuning
LiteSpeed, Nginx, Apache, Node.js, PHP-FPM, MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, installed, configured and tuned by us for your specific workload, not a copy-paste template.
24/7 proactive monitoring
CPU, RAM, disk, I/O, network and service health watched continuously. We catch issues before they page you, and act on them without waiting for you to notice.
Daily encrypted off-site backups
Automated, encrypted backups stored off-site in a separate facility. 14-day retention as standard, with hourly snapshots and longer retention available on higher plans.
Incident response, by humans
When something breaks at 3 AM, a senior engineer is already on it. Average ticket response under 5 minutes, no first-line scripts, no offshore call centers.
Free migrations from your old host
We move sites, databases and full stacks (cPanel, Plesk, raw Linux, Docker) from your current provider with zero or near-zero downtime. Included on every managed plan.
Security and compliance ops
TLS certificates, WAF rules, DDoS mitigation, access reviews, audit logs and GDPR-friendly data handling, configured by default and reviewed regularly.
You still get full root access
Managed does not mean locked down. You keep full root or Administrator access. We co-manage with your team, or take everything off your plate. Your call.
