Managed Cloud and Application Hosting
Managed hosting is the ongoing arrangement where GullySystem owns your environment day to day — patching, capacity, incident response and reporting — instead of a project with a defined end date.
What Ownership Looks Like Without This
- The person who built the system is the same person who gets called when it breaks, at any hour
- Patches and updates are postponed indefinitely because nobody has the time to test them safely
- Certificate and domain renewals depend on one person remembering, rather than a tracked schedule
- Nobody currently reports what changed in the environment last month, or why
Keeping the Environment Current
Patching in Agreed Windows
Operating system, runtime and database updates tested on staging and applied on a schedule you agree, rather than left running years out of date.
Capacity Watched and Adjusted
Resources reviewed against actual usage, increased ahead of a known peak and reduced afterwards.
When Something Goes Wrong, and What You See Each Month
Incident Response
A named person responds to alerts under a response arrangement agreed when you sign up, following a written runbook rather than exploring production during an incident.
Monthly Reporting
Uptime, changes made and spend for the month, so the state of your infrastructure is visible without asking for it.
Where This Draws the Line
This covers the environment your application runs on. New features, application bugs and design changes remain development work, done by your own team, your existing vendor, or by us under a separate arrangement, with the boundary written down so nobody is guessing during an incident.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a one-time migration or build project?
A project has a defined scope and an end date; managed hosting is a continuing arrangement where we operate the environment month after month. Many businesses start with a project to build or move the environment and then move into managed hosting once it is live.
What drives the cost of managed hosting?
How many environments and services are covered, how quickly you need someone to respond to an alert, and how much of the work — patching, capacity, backups, security, cost reporting — is included versus handled elsewhere.
Can you take over an environment someone else built?
Yes. We start by securing and documenting access, then review what exists, close any immediate risks, and only after that bring the environment fully under a managed arrangement.
Who is actually on call, and how quickly do they respond?
A named person on our side, following a written runbook for the alert that has fired. Which hours are covered and how quickly a response is expected are agreed with you in advance and vary by how serious a given failure is.
Does managed hosting include our application code?
No. It covers the servers, databases and services underneath the application. Application bugs, new features and code-level changes are separate work, whether done by us, your team or another vendor.
Do we keep ownership of the cloud account under a managed arrangement?
Yes. The account, domain and credentials stay registered to your business, with our access scoped and revocable, so changing who manages the environment is a decision you can make at any time.
What do you need from us to begin?
Access to the current environment, your recent hosting invoices, a named contact who can approve maintenance windows, and one person from operations who can say which systems cannot stop and during which hours.
