Managed hosting.

Zero infrastructure headaches.

Running an Umbraco site means you need hosting that works as hard as your team does. Umbraco Cloud is a fully managed platform built on Microsoft Azure, operated directly by Umbraco. That takes the complexity of hosting off your plate entirely.

No shared environments. No hidden costs.

What Umbraco Cloud actually means for you.

Every site on Umbraco Cloud is its own contained environment. Separate logs, separate cloud space, separate account. Your project doesn't share infrastructure with anyone else. What happens on one site stays on one site.

Security patches and minor updates are handled automatically by Umbraco. Infrastructure support is built into the platform at no additional charge. The heavy lifting is done for you. What's left is a clean, reliable environment your team can build on with confidence.

Rain handles the setup – configuring your hosting environment, deployment pipelines, and everything in between – so when your site goes live, it's ready to perform.

Built on Azure. Managed by Umbraco.

The Umbraco Cloud hosting platform has been available since Umbraco 8. It runs on Microsoft Azure, which means enterprise-grade infrastructure, global data centres, and the reliability your business depends on, without the overhead of managing it yourself.

As an Umbraco Gold Partner, Rain deals with Umbraco directly, not a third-party hosting provider. That relationship matters. It means faster support, cleaner accountability, and a platform that's built specifically for the CMS you're running on it.

Built to perform.

The Umbraco Cloud platform makes sure your digital experiences remain responsive and reliable under any circumstances.

What Rain does

Rain's role is to get your hosting environment set up properly from the start. That means configuring the platform, building out your deployment pipelines, and testing everything before a line of live traffic hits it.

For most sites, Umbraco Cloud's managed service handles ongoing infrastructure support independently. Where your setup involves more complexity — third-party integrations, custom configurations — Rain is on hand to triage and support any issues that need human attention.

You're never left to figure it out alone.

Let's get it set up properly.

FAQs

Is Umbraco Cloud the same as Azure hosting?

Umbraco Cloud runs on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, but it's managed and operated directly by Umbraco. Rain work with Umbraco – not Azure – which means a simpler relationship and support that understands your CMS from the inside out.

Will my site share space with other clients?

No. Every Umbraco Cloud site is a completely separate entity with its own cloud space and logs. There's no shared environment. What happens on your site is entirely isolated from anyone else's.

Who handles security updates and patches?

Umbraco Cloud manages security fixes and minor updates automatically, at no additional charge. For more complex setups or third-party integrations, Rain can step in to manage, triage, and support anything that needs attention – but the heavy lifting is handled by the platform.

Which pricing tier is right for my project?

It depends on your traffic levels, uptime requirements, and how many environments you need. Starter works well for lower-complexity sites. If you need a guaranteed SLA, Standard or above is the right move. Rain will recommend the right tier for your project and handle everything from there.

Can we upgrade tiers as the site grows?

Yes. Umbraco Cloud is built to scale. You can move between tiers as your needs evolve, without migrating to a new platform.

What happens if something goes wrong with the hosting?

Umbraco's support team covers platform-level issues as part of the managed service. Where issues are tied to your specific site configuration or integrations, Rain handles the triage and resolution. You have clear lines of support at every level.

What's included with Umbraco Cloud?
