A server under someone’s desk is a risk
Many FileMaker systems still run on an office machine that nobody patches, with backups that have never been tested. A power cut, a failed disk or ransomware can stop the whole business. Professional hosting gives you remote access from any device, a tested recovery plan and a server configured specifically for FileMaker workloads.
Hosting options
Shared FileMaker hosting
An affordable entry point for small teams. Your files and access are isolated from other clients, while server resources are shared.
VPS hosting
A virtual server with dedicated CPU, memory and storage — more stable performance than shared hosting and easy to scale.
Dedicated server hosting
Exclusive hardware and full control of configuration, suited to mission-critical or regulated workloads.
Server setup and maintenance
Installation, SSL certificates, updates and tuning for FileMaker Server on your own infrastructure as well as ours.

Choosing the right tier
- Shared hosting suits light workloads; performance can vary at peak times because resources are shared.

- Dedicated hardware is worth it for heavy server-side scripting, large files or strict compliance requirements.
