What managed hosting actually means

Six jobs that run without you.

Most hosting is just a server. Managed hosting is the six jobs that keep everything running -- and the one person who picks up the phone when something breaks.

Managed hosting · UK edge

Every site and app hosted on UK-region infrastructure -- Vercel, Cloudflare, or Fly.io depending on the stack. UK data residency, GDPR-ready.

Monthly ops report

Uptime, deploy count, incident log, patch status. Plain English. If something went wrong this month, it is in the report with what we did about it.

90-day track record

99.99% uptime. 0 severity-1 incidents. 4h MTTR.

Across all services under our managed hosting, we have maintained 99.99% uptime over the last 90 days with zero severity-1 incidents. The two severity-2 incidents that occurred were detected by our monitoring and resolved before any client raised a ticket.

Our old hosting went down twice in a year and I found out from a customer. With RL, I got a Slack message at 6am saying there had been a brief latency spike and it was already resolved. I did not even know it had happened. That is what managed hosting should look like.

How the ops work

Three things that keep
everything running.

Uptime is the obvious metric. Three things underneath it that most hosting providers do not cover.

Hourly backups. Monthly restore rehearsals.

Backups mean nothing if you have never tested a restore. We run a restore rehearsal every month and log the result. You have never had to restore until you really need to.

  • Hourly database snapshots -- 7-day rolling window
  • Daily storage backups -- 30-day retention
  • Monthly restore rehearsal -- logged and signed off
