Decent Group’s Claris FileMaker cloud hosting service is a simple way to achieve a fast, reliable and secure system.
Our FileMaker Server hosting will save you the significant expense of your own server and avoid having to carry out regular maintenance and keep it updated and backed up. We will make the process of migrating across to the new hosting simple.
We can scale the level of hosting to suit the needs of your business now and in the future. Our hosting is normally UK-based, although if you have offices outside the UK and it makes sense to host overseas, we can arrange this for you.
Contact usOur Claris FileMaker hosting service includes all these features as standard.
No more worries about server performance bottlenecks. Your hosting service will be specified to your needs and will work reliably.
Your data is always encrypted between our servers and your system using gold standard technology. No SSL certificate? We’ll arrange it at no extra cost.
You don’t have to worry about being protected from malicious software. We’ll ensure, at no extra cost, that server operating systems and the very best anti-malware software are always up to date on your server.
We provide an exceptionally reliable back-up service. This includes daily back-ups to a separate physical location with automatic checks, and twice-weekly testing by a human being to check the back-ups are both up to date and accessible in practice.
Our hosting can meet the needs of your business, however big or small.

Our Claris FileMaker hosting service can be scaled up to whatever specification you may need, to ensure peak performance of your business-critical systems.
If the table above recommends a server on-site for your situation, you should invest in a server of more than ample specification and get it properly looked after by your own IT staff or through a service contract with us.
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a server – it’s important to make sure you invest in a solution that will last a good long time, without spending money unnecessarily. We can advise on the most appropriate server specification for you.
Our FileMaker hosting is a fully managed service and our team keep a close eye on all our hosted servers and everything on them. We periodically perform maintenance and recovery to keep your server running at its best, so we will need the admin password and encryption keys to your files.
We look after everything, so you don’t have to. So for our hosted services, we don’t allow client access to the server. If you need direct access to your new server we can still help you – instead of hosting with us, our experts can work with you to build your own server, on your own hardware or in the cloud. We can also advise on best maintenance practices.
