Managed hosting, deployments, backups and monitoring
We host, monitor and maintain websites and applications for UAE businesses on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, including UAE data-centre regions when data has to stay in the country, with automated deployments, backups and security updates.
We set up and run the servers, databases and storage for your website or application, sized for your traffic and budget.
Deployment in UAE cloud regions for organisations whose data has to stay in the country, such as healthcare providers.
Every change goes through automated tests and deploys the same way every time, with a quick rollback if something fails.
Automatic daily backups kept off the main server, and restores we actually test, not just backups that exist on paper.
Uptime, errors, response times and disk space watched around the clock, with alerts to our team when something needs attention.
Operating system and dependency updates, TLS certificates, a web application firewall, and least-privilege access for everyone.
Hosting is more than a server. A managed plan covers the work that keeps a site or app safe and online:
Some organisations must keep data in the country. Health information, for example, is generally required to be stored inside the UAE under Federal Law No. 2 of 2019, and government-facing and financial projects often have their own requirements.
Both AWS (its Middle East UAE region) and Microsoft Azure (UAE North in Dubai and UAE Central in Abu Dhabi) run data centres in the UAE. We deploy there when residency matters, and use the most cost-effective region when it does not.
Ark Soft is a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, and Azure is one of the platforms we deploy on alongside AWS and Google Cloud.
We set up continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD): every change is tested automatically, deployed by a script rather than by hand, and checked for health after release. If the health check fails, the previous version is restored automatically.
The arksoft.ae website itself is deployed this way: if a new build or its health check fails, the previous version is put back automatically. Releases can happen during working hours without taking the site down.
Two numbers matter: how much data you can afford to lose (the recovery point) and how long you can afford to be offline (the recovery time). We agree both with you and design backups to match, for example daily snapshots plus point-in-time recovery for databases.
Backups are stored away from the main server, and we test restoring them, because an untested backup is only a hope.
We move websites and applications from shared hosting, old servers or other providers with a plan that avoids downtime: build the new environment, copy and verify the data, switch DNS at a quiet hour, and keep the old server available until everything is confirmed.
Before the switch we lower DNS caching times so the change reaches visitors quickly, and afterwards we check email, forms, payments and scheduled jobs, which are the things most often missed in a move.
