What is Umbraco Cloud?
Umbraco Cloud is the official managed hosting platform for Umbraco CMS, built and maintained by Umbraco HQ. Rather than hosting your site on a private server or managing your own infrastructure, Umbraco Cloud handles everything for you — updates, security patches, deployments, backups and scaling — all running on Microsoft Azure.
For most organisations running Umbraco, it is the simplest, most secure and most future-proof way to host your website. You focus on your content and your organisation. We handle everything else.

“I would highly recommend Ozum to anyone in need of web development services. The main reason is their ability to deliver tailored solutions that address specific business needs. Their expertise, attention to detail, and customer-focused approach ensured that our project was completed on time and exceeded our expectations.”
Luke Kuczynski, Website Manager
Cloud hosting vs managing your own server
Many Umbraco websites are still hosted on self-managed servers or third-party hosting platforms that weren't built with Umbraco in mind. The difference in day-to-day experience is significant.
Self-hosted - Managing your own infrastructure
Server maintenance, security patching, deployment configuration and uptime monitoring all require time and expertise. Updates to Umbraco must be planned and applied manually. Any issues fall to your team or your agency to diagnose and resolve.
Umbraco Cloud - Fully managed by Umbraco HQ
Security patches, platform updates and infrastructure management are all handled automatically. Your team focuses on your website and your content. Issues are monitored and resolved at the platform level before they affect your users.
For most organisations, the time and resource savings from moving to Umbraco Cloud more than cover the hosting cost. And with Ozum's 10% partner discount, the switch is even easier to justify.
