Why EasyCloudify

Why run Akaunting on EasyCloudify instead of self-hosting?

Self-hosting Akaunting works — until a CVE drops, a disk fills up, or an upgrade breaks the schema. We absorb that risk for you.
Migrating off Elestio? Same 1-click Akaunting catalog, broader managed services, 24/7 human support and plans from $5/mo.
No vendor lock-in: your Akaunting data is yours, in your chosen region, exportable at any time.
Unified billing across compute, databases, storage and email — one invoice, one dashboard.
Inbound bandwidth is always free, SSL is always free, backups are always included.

FAQ

Fully managed Akaunting — answered

What does "fully managed Akaunting" actually mean?

Fully managed Akaunting means EasyCloudify operates the entire stack on your behalf: server provisioning, OS hardening, Akaunting installation and configuration, SSL, daily backups, security patches, version upgrades, monitoring, log aggregation and 24/7 incident response. You focus on using Akaunting; we keep it healthy.

How much does managed Akaunting hosting cost?

Plans start at $5/mo for our serverless tier and from $5/mo for a dedicated VPS suitable for Akaunting. Larger workloads scale up to multi-region high-availability setups. There are no per-seat fees, inbound bandwidth is free, and SSL and backups are always included.

Can I migrate my existing Akaunting install to EasyCloudify?

Yes. Free assisted migration is included on every plan. Our team replicates your existing Akaunting data (from Elestio, DigitalOcean, AWS, self-hosted or anywhere else), validates the cutover in staging, schedules a maintenance window with you, and stays on standby for 24 hours after go-live.

Where can I deploy Akaunting?

You can deploy Akaunting in any of our 13 datacenter regions across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York ×2, San Francisco ×2, Atlanta, Richmond, Toronto, Singapore, Bangalore, Sydney). You choose the region for data residency; we run the stack identically with the same SLAs everywhere.

Do you handle Akaunting version upgrades?

Yes. Minor versions are patched automatically during the maintenance window you configure. Major versions are reviewed by our engineers, tested against your data in staging where applicable, and rolled out with a guaranteed rollback path.

Is EasyCloudify a good Elestio alternative for Akaunting?

Yes — EasyCloudify is a true Managed Services Provider, which means our engineers take proactive ownership of your Akaunting stack (monitoring, scaling, security, maintenance) instead of leaving day-2 ops to you. Plans start at $5/mo (vs $11/mo on Elestio), and you also get a native serverless platform, managed databases, S3-compatible storage and business email under one dashboard.
