Managed Business Hosting gives a business website its own dedicated resources, 4 vCores, 8 GB RAM and 80 GB NVMe storage, while the UnderHost team runs and secures the environment. It is the middle ground between shared hosting and a Cloud VPS: more power and isolation than shared plans, without having to manage a server yourself.

What the team manages
- Proactive monitoring, security hardening and threat mitigation.
- Performance tuning of the web stack, caching and databases.
- Troubleshooting led by experienced engineers.
- Help with scaling, migrations and resource planning when your site grows.
You stay in control of your websites, content and applications. Custom development is not part of hosting support.
Moving to Managed Business
Migration is free. The migration team moves websites, databases, email accounts, DNS and key settings from cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin or a custom server, and coordinates the move to keep disruption to a minimum. Timelines depend on the size of the project. See Request a free migration.
When a store regularly outgrows these resources, the team can plan the next step with you, such as a larger setup or a Cloud VPS.
