Managed Private Servers

Startup Stack provides professionally managed, private hosting services for your business’ critical infrastructure.

Our Core Stack gets you started with the essential systems that every business needs: Nextcloud Hub for secure, private document storage and sharing; ONLYOFFICE for online document editing; Matrix / Element for secure team communications; an email server with unlimited addresses and distribution lists; and LDAP for central account management.

From there you can add services suited to your specific needs, such as web servers providing information about your business or a full eCommerce suite, and productivity servers for source code management, help desk, customer relationship management, customer billing, community discussion forums, website analytics, and more.

We specialize in providing IT services to startups, small, and growing businesses. You get high-quality systems, similar to those a large enterprise uses, at small business prices.

Let us focus on the technology you need, you focus on making your business successful.

At Startup Stack, all the services we provide are on private servers dedicated to you, and you alone. Your data stays on your servers.

Other hosting providers run as many customers as possible on the same servers. This keeps their costs down but mixes your services and data in with everyone else.

Should one of their customers get breached, they often all get breached. If another customer uses more of the server’s capability, your services suffer.

What’s worse, is that many of the larger hosting providers have their own uses for your data. Ever stored a confidential document on Google Drive or GSuite? Read their Terms of Service lately?

When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content.

How about Gmail?

Google filing says Gmail users have no expectation of privacy — c|net

And it’s not just Google, Amazon (see §3.3), Microsoft, and others have similar policies. When hosting and privacy isn’t their primary business, your data is just another resource to them.

All of your services run on servers private to your business. Your servers are physically hosted by Linode, an industry leader with solid networking and lightning fast hardware.

Professionally Managed

Our staff of experienced IT professionals set up, secure, monitor, and manage your servers. The software is kept up to date, and all servers have intrusion detection, firewalls, and DDoS protection.

The various services integrate to the best extent possible for a seamless user experience.

99.9% Uptime Guarantee

We ensure your servers are kept running.

High-Speed Networking

Each server has 40Gbps inbound and 2Gbps to 6Gbps outbound bandwith, depending on plan. Each data center has redundant high-speed internet connections.

Backups

Each server is backed up daily. Backups are securely stored and multiple backups are kept.

Global Data Centers

You have your choice of 11 locations around the world to physically locate your servers. Keep your servers near your users and customers to give them the best experience.

We currently offer data centers in: Tokyo, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Frankfurt, London, Toronto, Newark, Atlanta, Dallas, and Fremont.

All of the software we install is open source. This has a number of advantages:

• No Licensing Costs — Keep your operating costs low.
• Community — Support doesn’t require expensive contracts.
• Freedom from Vendor Lock-in — You’re not reliant on a single vendor for systems your business relies on.
• Transparency — The source code is publicly visible. Bugs and security issues get found, and fixed, quickly. You don’t have to worry about the software doing things behind your back.
• Faster Updates — Open-source software generally responds to the needs of their users more rapidly.
• More Control — Should the software not entirely meet your needs, you can modify it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you.

Worried that open source solutions aren’t powerful enough to run your business? We built our business around these tools, if they weren’t up to the job, we wouldn’t be offering them to you.

Note that some of the systems offer additional features with a paid license. Where possible, we offer discounted rates for those licenses. Contact our sales department for more information.
