Your developers build the containers; we keep everything underneath healthy. Updates, security, monitoring, backups of your volumes, and assistance if a container fails to start. On your own server, with any provider.

Your application, our server

A clear boundary in the stack.

Docker makes deployment easy, but the host, the network, and the data remain standard server work. Your team is responsible for the top layer; we handle everything beneath it.

From build to cleanup.

This is how we divide the work throughout a container’s lifecycle.

Build
Your team builds the image.
Deploy
New version live, using the established startup scripts.
Monitor
Host and containers monitored; stalled containers restart automatically.
Patch
OS, Docker Engine, and base images updated.
Backup
Volumes and databases, with recovery testing.
Cleanup
Old images, stopped containers, and logs, with fixed limits.

From the field · Hana Bank

From outdated Tomcat to containers, for a bank.

We migrated a connection with the Ministry of Justice to a container environment with nginx, mutual TLS, and SQL Server. Updates now consist of simply replacing an image.

Sounds pretty scary, you give a stranger access to your most precious parts. If you are in doubt, you can always call us on 085 30 350 45.

No more worrying about your server park, no more outliers in your ICT budget and a managed server environment for one fixed amount per month.

How do you maintain my server?

We ensure that your server is always up to date with the latest software and security updates for certain packages.

This regular maintenance is standard in your package. Activities outside of this, such as installing an application, we charge at a discount at our regular rate as a server management customer.

What does web hosting support mean?

Some plans also offer web hosting support . With this module, we also help you with questions about your web hosting servers and the customers hosted on them. We know the software packages DirectAdmin, CPanel and Plesk through and through.

What does email server support mean?

The world of email is changing at a rapid pace, big players such as Gmail and Office365 are now making the rules and having your own mail server (for example on your DirectAdmin, Plesk or CPanel server) is increasingly difficult to maintain.

With email server support, we also help you maintain your mail server and you can be sure that your emails always reach the recipient.

Why is server management necessary?

Your server(s), website, email or webshop is probably one of the most important assets of your company. When these fail, everything comes to a standstill.
With good server management, you prevent problems during peak loads and performance is continuously guaranteed. In addition, we ensure that the system is always optimally accessible.

What if my server goes offline?

If the server crashes, the whole company comes to a standstill! This can be prevented by good management on the server. Are all services running? Aren't the hard disks almost full? Have all updates been installed? Are the OS and programs up-to-date? And so on! You don't have to waste valuable time on this anymore, we keep a close eye on it all and react immediately if something threatens to go wrong.

Does my server have to be hosted with you?

No, we are one of the few carrier-neutral system operators. It doesn't matter where your server is located, as long as we have access to the server and the control panel in case of any problems.

We work closely with the following hosting parties: TransIP, WorldStream, OVH, Hostnet, Siteground, Digital Ocean and GoDaddy.

How can I reach you?

During office hours we can be reached via 085 30 350 45. Outside these hours, you will be connected to our night shift*.

*If you call outside your package, extra costs will be charged

Why do you publish prices and others don't?

One fixed price per server per month. Including everything in the column. Extra services, checks or management? These are always possible.

We simply make our prices public. That is quite exceptional in this market. Most agencies that serve Dutch chains do not show their rates. This makes it difficult to compare.

We do it differently: below you can see exactly what you pay, what is included and what is not included in the price. No hidden costs, no ambiguity.

Do you also manage the application inside the container?

No, the application and the Dockerfiles remain with your own team or developer. We manage everything around them: the server, Docker itself, the network, certificates, backups, and monitoring. If a container isn’t running, we will investigate the cause.

Do you work with Docker Compose?

Yes. We take over existing compose files and document them so that updates and recovery are reproducible.

Do you also work with Podman?

Yes. More about Podman server management →

Do you also manage Kubernetes?

Our focus is on servers with Docker and Docker Compose. If you have a Kubernetes cluster, we can discuss what we can do for you during a consultation.

Does it matter where my server is located?

No. We are carrier-neutral: on-premise, at your office, or with providers such as TransIP, OVHcloud, AWS, and DigitalOcean.

What about container backups?

The container itself can be rebuilt; it’s your data that matters. We back up volumes and databases and periodically test whether restoration works.

Can my developers restart containers themselves?

Yes. We grant them exactly the permissions they need, without providing full administrative access to the server.
