Where to host your Umbraco site, and what it should cost
Most hosting pages will not tell you a price. Mine will. Managed Umbraco Cloud hosting through my company, Simplepage Ltd, is £99 a month all-in on the Cloud Starter plan: the Cloud fee is included, along with an hour of support every month. On Cloud Standard and above, your Cloud plan passes through at cost, Umbraco's published prices with no markup, and the same £99 managed service sits on top. For multi-site setups or sites that have outgrown Cloud pricing, hosting on our own servers is £149 a month per site, running on infrastructure we own and tune ourselves. And if your organisation needs a server entirely to itself, fully dedicated servers are available too, priced on request.
Hosting an Umbraco site well is more than renting a server. The plans cover the environment your site actually needs: a properly configured ASP.NET Core host, SSL, CDN and caching set up correctly, and someone who knows Umbraco watching the logs. When something goes wrong at 9am on a Monday, you email the person who runs the platform, not a datacentre ticket queue.
The infrastructure side is run through Simon Antony, whose Umbraco hosting page has the full plan detail, and whose infrastructure and DevOps services cover the same stack for larger deployments. This site runs in the same environment, so you can judge the speed for yourself right now.
Every plan includes backups and, more importantly, test restores. A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan, so recovery is verified rather than assumed. If the worst happens, the answer to "when were we last safe?" is a date, not a shrug.
Once a year I review what your site actually uses. If you are paying for more platform than you need, I move you down and your bill drops. Hosting is the classic place where businesses quietly overpay for years; I would rather keep the client than the margin.
If you have in-house infrastructure people and just need the site built, host it yourself and I will deploy to whatever you run. The right answer depends on your team, and I will tell you honestly which option fits.
