You need this if…
Apps usually start on a quick setup. These are the signs it is time to grow up.
- Every update breaks somethingAnd customers find it first.
- One developer knows how it runsIf they leave, so does the knowledge.
- The app crashes at nightAnd nobody knows until morning.
- It slows down with more usersSuccess makes it worse.
- It holds customer dataAnd nobody checked how safely.
- The cloud bill is a mysteryGrowing every month, nobody knows why.

Who it is for.
A SaaS going live
Your first customers on infrastructure built to grow, not a test box.

SSL certificates
Issued, installed and renewed before they expire.
Daily backups
Encrypted, kept off the server, and restores we actually test.
Updates and patching
Security updates applied every week, in a set window.
Monitoring and the fix
When something breaks, we are alerted and we fix it.
A named engineer

Cyber security, in plain words.
Six things that actually happen to small and mid-sized companies, and what we do so they do not happen to yours.
Someone guesses your passwords
What happens. Robots try thousands of passwords a minute on every website and email account.
What we do. We block repeated attempts, turn on two-step login and lock the account at the first sign.
Ransomware locks your files
What happens. A virus encrypts everything and asks for money to unlock it. Small companies are hit the most.
What we do. Your backups live where the virus cannot reach. We restore, you do not pay.
A fake email fools someone
What happens. An email that looks like your bank or your boss asks for a password or a payment.
What we do. Our filter stops most of them before anyone sees them, and laptops block the dangerous links.
Your site is flooded
What happens. Thousands of fake visitors at once, until real customers cannot get in.
What we do. The flood hits Cloudflare's network first and is dropped there, before it reaches your server.
Old software with holes
What happens. Every outdated plugin or system is a door that attackers already know how to open.
What we do. We update everything every week, in a set window, and test that nothing broke.
A laptop is lost or stolen
What happens. Whoever finds it can read your files, emails and saved passwords.
What we do. Disks are encrypted, and we lock or wipe the laptop remotely the same day.
Updates keep breaking things?
We set up a test copy and safe releases, so your customers only ever see what works.
Why not just rent a server?
The machine is the cheap part. Everything around it is what keeps your business online, and with us it is someone's job.
Built with the brands big companies trust.
You do not need to know these names. We do. Here is what each one does for your business, in plain words.
Cloudflare
Shield and speedStands in front of your website. Blocks attacks and fake traffic, and makes pages load fast everywhere.
Fortinet
FirewallThe locked door of your office network. Only what should come in, comes in.
Bitdefender
AntivirusProtects every laptop and server from viruses, and stops ransomware before it locks your files.
Veeam
BackupCopies your data every night and brings it back, a single file or a whole server.
Palo Alto Networks
Network securityWatches the traffic of larger networks and stops intruders that look like normal users.
Let's Encrypt
The padlockThe certificate behind the padlock in the browser, so what your visitors type stays private.
Red Hat
Server systemThe operating system banks and governments run their servers on. Stable for years.
Kubernetes
App platformKeeps your application running. If one server fails, another takes over on its own.
No developer? We build it too.
Gradax builds custom software. One team writes your app and runs it.
Goes well with.
Most companies combine two or three of these. One team runs all of them.
Business Infrastructure
Need more than this? We design, build and run your whole infrastructure, for one monthly fee.

The sectors that need application hosting most, and why, in the words of each sector's own page.
- Education & TrainingEvery student logs in at the same minute when term starts, and the platform has to hold that first morning.
- Restaurants & HospitalityBooking engines take their peak on Friday evenings and holiday weekends, exactly when an outage costs most.
- Real EstateProperty search with filters, maps and large photo galleries needs more than shared hosting to stay quick.
- Retail & E-CommerceSale launches and seasonal campaigns bring traffic in one burst, and a slow checkout loses it.
- Electrical ContractorsThe scheduling and certificate system is used from every van every day, so it needs to be up when they are.
- Landscaping & GroundsThe rounds system is opened by every crew every morning, so it needs to be up before the vans leave.
- Veterinary PracticesBooking and health plan renewals have to work on a Sunday night, when most owners actually get round to them.
- Gyms & Fitness StudiosClass booking opens at a set time and everyone taps at once, so the system must hold under that rush.

Questions, answered plainly.
Something not covered here? An engineer answers, not a salesperson.
Which technologies do you support?
Node.js, PHP, Python, Java and .NET applications, with PostgreSQL, MySQL or Redis. Containers are welcome.
Do you host apps you did not build?
Yes. We review the app first, then set up production for it. If the code needs work, we tell you plainly.
What does managed database mean?
We run, back up, update and tune the database. Your developers use it, and never have to maintain it.
Can we keep deploying ourselves?
Yes. Your team pushes code as usual and the pipeline releases it. We look after everything underneath.
What if traffic spikes?
On Growth and Scale the app runs behind a load balancer and capacity is added before a planned peak.
