UniFi and UISP Cloud Hosting Services
HostiFi provides specialized managed cloud hosting for Ubiquiti UniFi and UISP controllers, designed specifically to assist Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT professionals in centralizing network management. Founded in 2018, the company offers UniFi OS Server hosting that enables remote monitoring and management of network devices without the need for on-site hardware like Cloud Keys.
The platform automates the deployment process, providing instant server setup, SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt, and automated nightly off-site backups to secure locations including DigitalOcean Spaces and Backblaze B2.
The service focuses on high availability and security, utilizing Zabbix for 24/7 monitoring of server uptime, memory, and disk usage. Security measures include mandatory 2FA, SSH key-only access, and limited port exposure to protect client data.
HostiFi distinguishes itself through its dedicated support team, which assists with professional services, consulting, and complex migrations. They provide complimentary migration support for customers moving from Dream Machines, UISP Cloud, or local controllers to their hosted environment, ensuring minimal network downtime during the transition.
Beyond hosting, HostiFi offers a suite of free network management tools, including device discovery and export utilities. Their infrastructure is built to scale, supporting environments ranging from 5 to 5,000 devices.
By handling server updates and software patches internally, HostiFi allows IT teams to focus on client support rather than server maintenance. The company also provides an extensive knowledge base and a community Slack channel to facilitate technical troubleshooting and professional networking for its user base of over 5,000 customers.
