Open source platforms, fully managed and hosted in the UK
We deploy, host and operate the open source infrastructure your business runs on, so you get private cloud, storage, email and monitoring as dependable managed services without per-seat licensing or vendor lock-in.
Hosted where you need it: on the Node cloud as a fully managed service, on the major hyperscalers, or rolled out onto your own infrastructure. The same managed service applies whichever route you choose.
Open source, no lock-in: every platform we run is open source and built on open standards. Your data stays in open formats on infrastructure you control, never trapped behind a proprietary licence.
Operated, not just installed: deployment, upgrades, security, backups, monitoring and support are all included. We run the platform so your team does not have to.
Predictable cost: a flat managed service fee in place of per-user, per-host or per-metric SaaS pricing that climbs with your success.
Data sovereignty by default: your data stays on UK infrastructure under UK jurisdiction, with clear residency and an Article 28 data processing agreement. There is no US CLOUD Act exposure of the kind that comes with American SaaS platforms.
Done for you, not do-it-yourself: self-service platforms such as Elestio, PikaPods and Cloudron still leave you configuring and maintaining the apps. We run them for you as a fully managed service, architected for high availability and integrated with your other systems. Looking to replace specific SaaS tools?

Frequently asked questions
What does managed open source hosting include?
We deploy the platform in a production, high-availability configuration, then handle upgrades, security, backups, monitoring and support on an ongoing basis. You get the capability of enterprise software without running it yourself or paying per-seat licence fees.
How is this different from self-service platforms like Elestio, PikaPods or Cloudron?
Those platforms make it easier to deploy open source apps, but you still choose, configure, secure and maintain them yourself. Node is a done-for-you managed service: we architect for high availability, integrate with your identity and other systems, and operate the platform with UK support and data residency.
Do you provide a data processing agreement and UK data residency?
Yes. We host on UK infrastructure by default with clear data residency and provide an Article 28 data processing agreement. Where a client needs a specific region or their own cloud account, we deploy there instead with the same managed service.
Can you host on our own infrastructure rather than yours?
Yes. We run these platforms on the Node cloud, on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, or directly on your own on-premises or cloud infrastructure. The managed service is the same wherever the platform lives.
Why self-hosted open source instead of commercial SaaS?
Self-hosted open source removes per-seat and per-metric licensing, keeps your data on infrastructure you control with clear UK data residency, and avoids vendor lock-in. Node provides the managed operations layer that makes it enterprise-grade and dependable.
Is everything hosted in the UK?
We host on UK infrastructure by default, with clear data residency. Where a client needs a specific region or their own cloud account, we deploy there instead, with the same managed service.
