Domino hosting is running HCL Domino servers at a provider instead of in your own server room, with monitoring, backup and updates as one service.
Domino hosting is running HCL Domino servers at a provider instead of in your own server room. The provider takes care of hardware, operating system, Domino, monitoring, backup and updates, and the customer pays a fixed monthly price.
Who needs Domino hosting?
- Companies that have closed their own server room but still have Notes applications that must run.
- Companies where the last Domino administrator has left.
- Companies in the middle of a migration that want Domino run reliably while the applications are moved.
- Companies that must keep Notes data as an archive for some years for legal reasons.
What is included in hosting?
- A server in an EU data centre, typically in Denmark or Germany, with redundancy.
- Domino installed, updated and configured according to best practice, usually on Linux.
- Monitoring around the clock and daily backup with restore tests.
- Access through the Notes client, Nomad Web and Verse over TLS.
- A fixed contact person and agreed response time.
Your own cloud or the provider's?
Domino can run in Azure, AWS or at a local hosting provider. We run on dedicated servers in Germany and Denmark with Cloudflare in front, because that gives better price and control than the big clouds for Domino's workload. If you already have an Azure agreement, Domino can run there too, and we operate it for you.
Common questions
What does Domino hosting cost?
A fixed monthly price based on number of users, databases and data volume. Typically far below the cost of keeping a server and an administrator yourself.
What about licences?
You keep your own HCL licences. We can also arrange licences as an HCL partner.
How long is the commitment?
We work with short agreements, because many customers are on their way somewhere else. Hosting should be a bridge, not a trap.
Is the data safe?
Data is held in the EU under a data processing agreement. We work according to ISO 27001 principles and OWASP in our own operations.
