Fully Managed Docker Hosting

Fully managed Docker hosting means EasyCloudify provisions, secures, updates, monitors and backs up your Docker stack on the cloud provider and region of your choice — so you can use Docker without operating servers. One-click deploy, free SSL, daily backups, automatic patching, and 24/7 human support, from $5/mo.

Free assisted migration · 13 datacenter regions · No per-seat fees

What you get

Everything we manage on your Docker stack

You focus on using Docker. We operate the underlying cloud, the OS, the runtime and the Docker application itself.

One-click Docker deployment

Spin up a production-ready Docker instance in under 60 seconds in any of our 13 datacenter regions across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific — with GDPR-ready regions in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London.

Automatic updates & patching

We track upstream Docker releases, test compatibility, and roll out updates inside a maintenance window you control. Major upgrades include a rollback path.

Daily backups + one-click restore

Block-level, crash-consistent snapshots of your Docker data with 7-day retention (configurable down to every 4 hours). Restore to any point in time from the dashboard.

Hardened security baseline

Free SSL on every domain, WAF + DDoS protection, TLS 1.3, AES-256 at rest, hardened OS images, automated CVE patching. GDPR / SOC 2-aligned with EU data residency options.

24/7 proactive monitoring

Health checks, log aggregation, auto-restart on failure, and pager-style alerting on the Docker processes — not just the underlying VM.

Real human support, < 15 min

Our engineers know Docker. No tier-one chatbots — you get direct access to people who have deployed and tuned Docker hundreds of times.

About Docker

Why teams choose Docker

Platform for developers to deliver apps...

Description

Docker containers combines software and related dependencies into a standardized unit for software development that includes everything it needs to run: code, runtime, system tools and libraries. This guarantees that your application will always run the same and makes collaboration as simple as sharing a container image.

Software Included

Docker CE20.10.7Apache 2
Docker Compose1.27.0Apache 2

Getting started after deploying Docker

In addition to the package installation, this One-Click also:

  • Configures Docker per the official Docker recommendations.
  • Configures Docker Compose per the official Docker Compose recommendations.

Once the Docker One-Click Droplet is created, you can log into it as root. Make sure to substitute the Droplet’s public IPv4 address.

ssh root@your_vps_public_ipv4

docker -d will already be running as a service and the docker command line tool is included in the PATH, so it’s ready to use.

Note: The default firewall for the Docker One-Click is UFW, which is a front end to iptables. However, Docker modifies iptables directly to set up communication to and from containers. This means that UFW won’t give you a full picture of the firewall settings. You can override this behavior in Docker by adding --iptables=false to the Docker daemon.

Why EasyCloudify

Why run Docker on EasyCloudify instead of self-hosting?

  • Self-hosting Docker 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 Docker catalog, broader managed services, 24/7 human support and plans from $5/mo.
  • No vendor lock-in: your Docker 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 Docker — answered

What does "fully managed Docker" actually mean?

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

How much does managed Docker hosting cost?

Plans start at $5/mo for our serverless tier and from $5/mo for a dedicated VPS suitable for Docker. 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 Docker install to EasyCloudify?

Yes. Free assisted migration is included on every plan. Our team replicates your existing Docker 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 Docker?

You can deploy Docker 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 Docker 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 Docker?

Yes — EasyCloudify is a true Managed Services Provider, which means our engineers take proactive ownership of your Docker 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. See our full Elestio alternative comparison.
