Robust, reliable FileMaker hosting

Our FileMaker cloud hosting service is a simple way to achieve a fast, reliable and secure system.

You save 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.

Which hosting solution is right for you?

Our hosting can meet the needs of your business, however big or small. 

Your situation

What you probably need

One internal user, no access by customers/suppliers, no access from mobile devices.

No need for a server or hosting. Just make sure it’s properly backed up.

One internal user, some access from other users.

Decent Group hosting.

Two to 10 internal users, all in the same location, no access by customers/suppliers, no access from mobile devices.

Best practice is Decent Group hosting, however you could use FileMaker Pro Advanced. Do make sure it’s properly backed up.

Two to 10 internal users, some access by other users.

Decent Group hosting.

11 to 100 internal users across multiple locations.

Decent Group hosting. 

11 to 100 internal users, most based in a single location, low to moderate level of external access by customers/suppliers.

On-site server. Call us and we can recommend the right configuration for you.

Over 100 internal users, low to moderate level of external access by customers/suppliers.

On-site server is likely still to be best practice but call us and we can recommend the right configuration for you.

Over 100 internal users, high level of external access by customers/suppliers. 

Decent Group hosting, which will require additional setup or configuration.

Access needed from low-bandwidth environments. 

Specialist configuration needed. Call us and we can recommend the right hosting for you.

Decent Group hosting recommended?

We can provide hosting for a small setup cost and a monthly charge – and you won’t need a dedicated on-site server or staff to maintain it.

On-site server recommended?

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.
