Why Umbraco here
Hosting made for the Umbraco CMS
Umbraco is a .NET-native, open-source CMS — not a PHP app bolted onto Windows. It runs best on
exactly the stack we provide: ASP.NET Core, IIS and SQL Server. That means no compatibility layers,
no missing dependencies, and full access to the code so your editors and your developers both get
what they need.
Native SQL Server backend
Umbraco stores its content, media metadata and configuration in a database, and SQL Server is a
first-class target. Your site gets a native SQL Server 2025 database you can manage
with SQL Server Management Studio and back up automatically every day — ideal for production
content you cannot afford to lose.
Full control over code and packages
Umbraco projects are real ASP.NET Core apps. Deploy your custom C#, Razor views, controllers and
NuGet or Umbraco marketplace packages straight from Visual Studio. You are not
limited to a fixed set of plugins — if it builds in .NET, it runs here.
Media, uploads and writable storage
A CMS needs a writable file system for media libraries, image processing and caches. Your site root
is fully writable with generous storage, so image cropping, uploads and Examine search indexes all
work out of the box.
Modern Umbraco on the latest .NET
Because we support the newest .NET runtimes, you can run current Umbraco releases and keep upgrading
on your own schedule. Free HTTPS via Let’s Encrypt secures both your public site and the
back-office at /umbraco.
Conclusion
With a native SQL Server backend, full code control, writable media storage and the latest .NET
runtimes, our platform is a natural home for Umbraco. Use the one-click installer to get started, or
deploy your existing solution from Visual Studio in minutes.
