Built for teams who want to move faster
When you’ve worked with Umbraco for as long as we have, you start to appreciate what truly makes it special and for us, that’s Umbraco Cloud.
We love it because it removes the friction that slows digital projects down. Updates, deployments, environments, all handled in a way that just works. No clunky server setups, no late-night patching, no “who pushed what where?” moments.
It means we can focus on what matters: building better experiences for clients and giving marketing teams the freedom to actually use their site.
Less maintenance, more momentum
Traditional CMS hosting often becomes a juggling act of dev, staging, and live environments all slightly out of sync, updates getting missed, and “just one more small change” turning into downtime.
Umbraco Cloud fixes that. Automated upgrades keep projects current, content and code stay perfectly aligned, and rollbacks are as simple as a click.
For our team, that reliability translates into momentum. We spend less time firefighting and more time refining. For our clients, it means sites that stay modern, secure, and ready to evolve.
The freedom to experiment (safely)
We love that Umbraco Cloud encourages creativity without chaos. Need to trial a new feature or preview changes with stakeholders? Easy. Even more so with the recently added 'Flexible Environments' allowing you to create additional dev/feature environments outside of the normal left-to-right deployment flow.
Because environments sync so seamlessly, you can explore ideas without fear of breaking what’s live. It’s the kind of safety net that makes innovation feel natural, especially for organisations where digital confidence has been hard-won.
Why it matters to our clients
Many of the organisations we work with particularly in the not-for-profit and public sectors don’t have the luxury of large in-house tech teams. They need reliability, clarity, and control.
Umbraco Cloud gives them that. It takes care of the technical overhead so their teams can focus on content, campaigns, and community impact.
Security
In the time we've been using Umbraco Cloud, there have been a handful of security patches ranging in severity. Cloud sites are automatically patched often before an announcement is even public, meaning there really is no safer way to host an Umbraco site.
- Automated updates and security patches
- Automated and FREE SSL HTTPS certificates
- Two factor login / Support of OAuth
- 3rd party penetration test twice a year
- Automated backups and point-in-time restore options
- WAF firewall
Performance
Umbraco Cloud runs on Microsoft's Azure infrastructure and utilises Cloudflare to ensure bulletproof stability even in high demand periods.
- Built in caching and Global CDN
- Scalable resources
- Image optimisation and compression
- Real time performance monitoring
Visibility
Umbraco Cloud also gives visibility, something often missing from traditional hosting. Every Cloud project provides real-time stats on bandwidth, storage, and performance trends, all accessible within the Umbraco portal. That means you can actually see how your site is being used, spot traffic spikes, and track how well your infrastructure is performing without ever logging into a separate analytics tool.
For organisations focused on sustainability, this data can even help benchmark digital efficiency showing how cloud usage scales responsibly over time and identifying where optimisations can reduce energy or storage waste.
For us, it’s the platform that best supports long-term digital health where upgrades aren’t scary, performance is predictable, and every insight helps your team make better, more sustainable decisions about your website.
Looking ahead
We’re excited about where Umbraco Cloud continues to go. Tighter integrations, more automation, and the flexibility to keep pace with modern development processes.
After years of using it across hundreds of projects, we can honestly say it’s the foundation we trust most to deliver resilient, sustainable digital platforms.
And that’s why we love it.
