When managed hosting makes sense

Anyone can buy hosting. Managing, securing and monitoring it is a craft. Choose managed hosting if you’d rather hand that over.

  • Nobody manages your servers. Your application runs, but nobody in your team keeps up with servers, updates and security.
  • Your application has to stay available. Downtime costs you customers or revenue, so you want firm agreements on availability.
  • Backups keep slipping. You’re not sure there are backups, let alone whether you could restore them.
  • You’re growing and need room to scale. More users or more data need more capacity, and you want that properly arranged.

What our managed hosting includes

The specifics, such as resources and price, are set out in your service agreement. This is what comes as standard.

  • Hosting for applications, databases and storage

    Your complete environment on our infrastructure, set up according to your service agreement.
  • Continuous monitoring

    We watch availability and resource usage, and let you know when you’re approaching your limits.
  • 99.5% uptime per calendar month

    If we fall short, you’re entitled to service credits of 10%, 25% or 50% of the monthly fee. Request them within 30 days of the month concerned.
  • Support by email

    A response within 24 hours on business days. Critical issues get priority.
  • Daily backups

    Automatic, kept for 30 days in a geographically separate location. Restoring after data loss costs nothing extra.
  • Security

    Encrypted connections (TLS), regular security updates, a firewall and access logging.
  • Your data stays yours

    We act as your data processor under the GDPR, and you can request a full export of your data at any time.
  • Maintenance announced in advance

    We announce scheduled maintenance at least 48 hours in advance and plan it outside busy hours where possible.
  • Scaling on request

    Need more capacity? We scale up in consultation with you. Temporary traffic spikes within reasonable limits are handled at no extra cost.
  • A clean exit

    You can cancel with 30 days’ notice and receive a full export of your data in standard formats.

Our approach

Onboarding, monitoring, support

From the initial set-up to day-to-day care: you always know who manages your environment and how to reach us.

  1. Onboarding

    We discuss what your application needs and set out the arrangements in a service agreement: services, resources and price. Then we set up your environment, with security, monitoring and daily backups from day one. Special backup requirements? We build them in here.

    • Service agreement
    • Resources
    • Security
    • Backup policy
  2. Monitoring

    We monitor your environment continuously. We apply security updates regularly, and urgent patches immediately when needed. Scheduled maintenance happens outside busy hours where possible and is announced by email at least 48 hours ahead. If you’re approaching your resource limits, we’ll tell you in good time.

    • Continuous monitoring
    • Security updates
    • Scheduled maintenance
    • Capacity
  3. Support

    Got a question or a problem? Email us and you’ll get a response within 24 hours on business days. Critical issues get priority. We’re also there for scaling, restoring a backup or exporting your data. And if a security incident affects your data, we’ll tell you promptly.

    • Email support
    • Scaling
    • Backup restores
    • Data export

Questions about managed hosting

What does managed hosting include?

Application hosting, database management, storage, continuous monitoring and technical support. The exact services and resources, and the monthly fee, are set out in a service agreement tailored to your situation.

What uptime do you guarantee?

We guarantee 99.5% uptime per calendar month. Scheduled maintenance (announced by email at least 48 hours in advance), force majeure, and issues caused by your own actions or by third-party services we don’t manage are excluded. If we fall short of 99.5%, you receive service credits on your next invoice: 10% of the monthly fee for uptime between 99.0 and 99.4%, 25% between 98.0 and 98.9% and 50% below 98.0%. Credits must be requested within 30 days of the month concerned. The full terms are in our terms of service.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

Within 24 hours on business days (Monday to Friday, excluding Dutch public holidays). Critical issues that affect availability get priority and are addressed as quickly as possible. Support is provided by email, at hello@broeders-it.com. The response time refers to our first response; how long a fix takes depends on the issue.

What about backups?

We make automated daily backups of all your hosted applications and databases and keep them for 30 days, in a geographically separate location. If data is lost, we restore the most recent backup at no extra cost. Have specific backup requirements? We’ll discuss them during onboarding.
