Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

Cloud infrastructure built for reliability, consistency and performance
UpCloud products and services are built on the latest enterprise-grade data centre hardware. This ensures the highest level of reliability across the equipment in all of our data centres.
Multiple redundancies eliminate any single-point-of-failure with capacity to mitigate issues following failure or attack with automated restarts to recover with minimal interruption.
We trust our cloud infrastructure to weather faults and issues. So much so that we give you 99.999% uptime SLA with a 50x payback for any downtime over 5 minutes.
Compute products
Our Cloud Servers offer high-performance and resilient cloud with no upfront costs or commitments required. Create new server instances in seconds and scale existing resources with zero downtime using Hot Resize. Our public cloud has you covered.
Get started quick and easy with the resources you need, then scale up in just a couple of clicks as your business grows. No need to overprovision services with unnecessary capacity.
Cloud Servers come with a number of complimentary services such as firewall, private networking and 24h backups, all ensuring the highest value for money services you can find.
If you want true exclusivity, enjoy our easy to create Private Cloud with the same flexibility and performance as our public cloud. Deploy and control easily in our self-service cloud platform. No upfront costs. Get in touch and learn more!
More secure than public cloud by design. Dedicated hosts on a Private Cloud offer isolated and managed cloud infrastructure, without public cloud’s shared security model.
Don’t worry about the extra costs of migrating from a different cloud provider. During a 2-month free migration period, we will charge you no service costs.
UpCloud Managed Databases take away the burden of maintenance. Delegate the mundane tasks to professionals and spend your valuable time more productively.
Clustered with automated failover, monitored day and night, Managed Databases are covered by our signature 99.999% uptime SLA. Rest assured your databases are always available.
Save your business resources by spending your valuable time on what matters lowering the total cost of ownership over the lifetime of your database services.
Easily automate the deployment, scaling and management of containerised applications utilising UpCloud Managed Kubernetes, a fully serviced container orchestration system.
Maintain a hands-on approach to your Data plane without the headache of running a Kubernetes Control plane providing fully managed high performance.
Attain a faster time to market with UKS (UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes service), the fastest container orchestration platform currently on the market.
Experience exceptional performance across a range of demanding applications with our GPU Servers, from generative AI, LLM inference, and AI model training to 3D rendering and video processing.
With UpCloud’s usage-based GPU billing, you only pay for active compute time. This allows for precise scaling of resources, eliminating costs for idle infrastructure. It’s ideal for teams seeking high-end GPUs without long-term commitments. Our transparent pricing means clear costs based on actual usage, with no hidden fees.
Storage products
Block storage is our de facto cloud storage solution with the options to choose from our home-grown high-performance MaxIOPS technology, medium performance standard storages and high-capacity archive options. Each storage is available on-demand basis (1GB – 4096GB) with up to 16 storage devices per Cloud Server.
Highly available – We developed our storage solutions to not only be highly performant but also highly reliable. Performance means nothing without reliability!
Our Block storage runs on a dedicated backend separately from the computational hosts. This way your Cloud Servers can be automatically restarted on another host should the compute backend experience failure.
If you are looking to host a large quantity of unstructured data, you will want to check out UpCloud Object Storage. As fully S3-compliant, our Object Storage is just plug-and-play with existing S3 compatible software integrations.
Choose from the three capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB. Easily increase the storage size without needing to migrate your data.
Enable and forget, you’ll then have it when you need it! No need to configure backup schedules or retention periods, just pick the longest backup duration you are likely to need and we’ll do the rest. When enabled, the backups are made as scheduled on the background without the need for user actions.
Select the backup schedule according to your needs and not just the system storage, but all storages.
Bring back an entire Cloud Server system state from one of your many backups. The full one year schedule comes with a total of 23 concurrently available backups. You will always have a backup of the data you are looking for up to a year from any changes to the data.
Networking products
Looking to diversify your services for even better redundancy? Look no further than the UpCloud Managed Load Balancer! Add professional-grade load balancing solution to any of your cloud services quickly and easily, secured by free SSL certificates.
Load Balancer is built on our true and trusted infrastructure. Service critical applications can improve resilience with the two-node Production plan.
Load Balancer benefits from our Zero Cost Egress allowing you to forget about data transfer costs and focus on developing your applications.
With UpCloud, you can now distribute your content globally without fearing additional costs. This change ensures that unpredictable expenses will no longer hinder your operations.
Zero-cost egress means all network transfer costs are fixed in the future. This allows for easier budgeting and less uncertainty in monthly outgoings, which is common with some of our competitors.
Our commitment extends beyond eliminating costs. UpCloud users will benefit from our top-tier global network infrastructure, ensuring your services run on the most reliable and high-speed networks.
Service connectivity at UpCloud is managed using software-defined networking (SDN) that enables dynamic, programmatically configured networks. It provides greater flexibility and customisability, all configurable straight from your UpCloud Control Panel.
Our SDN features such as the SDN Private Networks and Routers focus on providing improved network performance and capabilities while decoupling the network configuration from the physical infrastructure.
Floating IPs are special IPv4 addresses that can be transferred from one Cloud Server to another at a moment’s notice without the need to restart the servers. They are extremely useful for failover services on mission-critical functions to ensure high availability.
Give your Cloud Servers secure and seamless access to the internet with NAT Gateway. Download software updates, connect to external services, and enjoy uninterrupted connectivity – all without exposing your servers to the public internet.
Fully managed. Multiple SDN networks. Active-passive clustering for high availability.
And the best part? No hidden fees. At UpCloud, we’ve eliminated network transfer costs, so you can use our NAT Gateway without worrying about unexpected charges.
Multi-cloud & corporate connectivity made easy.
