Why run Hermes Agent on EasyCloudify instead of self-hosting?
- Self-hosting Hermes Agent works — until a CVE drops, a disk fills up, or an upgrade breaks the schema. We absorb that risk for you.

- No vendor lock-in: your Hermes Agent 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.
Fully managed Hermes Agent — answered
What does "fully managed Hermes Agent" actually mean?
Fully managed Hermes Agent means EasyCloudify operates the entire stack on your behalf: server provisioning, OS hardening, Hermes Agent installation and configuration, SSL, daily backups, security patches, version upgrades, monitoring, log aggregation and 24/7 incident response. You focus on using Hermes Agent; we keep it healthy.
How much does managed Hermes Agent hosting cost?
Plans start at $5/mo for our serverless tier and from $5/mo for a dedicated VPS suitable for Hermes Agent. 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 Hermes Agent install to EasyCloudify?
Yes. Free assisted migration is included on every plan. Our team replicates your existing Hermes Agent 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 Hermes Agent?
You can deploy Hermes Agent 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 Hermes Agent 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 Hermes Agent?
Yes — EasyCloudify is a true Managed Services Provider, which means our engineers take proactive ownership of your Hermes Agent 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.
