What makes Umbraco Cloud appealing is how much complexity it quietly removes. Traditional hosting can be fragmented. A website might be built in one place, hosted elsewhere, and maintained by yet another provider. That creates multiple layers of responsibility, slows down updates, and makes something as simple as a change to infrastructure feel like a big event. Umbraco Cloud brings everything together. The hosting, CMS, and platform are part of the same environment, so there are fewer moving parts for everyone involved.
A big benefit is reliability. Updates and platform upgrades happen behind the scenes, without disruption or costly maintenance windows. There’s no juggling multiple providers or worrying about whether a hosting stack is still fit for purpose two years down the line. For clients, it means a website that quietly runs in the background. For us, it means we can focus our energy on building better solutions instead of maintaining servers.
Another advantage is speed. Because the platform is already in place, getting a site live is often faster. There’s less time spent setting up hosting and more time spent refining the actual solution. For small and medium-sized businesses, that matters. Internal resources are often limited, and a website should be something dependable, not something that needs constant attention.
Long-term growth is another area where Umbraco Cloud stands out. Websites shouldn’t feel fragile or temporary. They should scale with the business. With built-in version control, stable hosting, and a managed upgrade path, Umbraco Cloud gives businesses a platform that won’t hold them back as they grow.
Ultimately, what we like about Umbraco Cloud is that it fits how we work. At DEXM, our focus is on technology and solutions, not running infrastructure. We want to build platforms that give clients confidence, not complexity. By choosing a stable, well-managed foundation, we’re able to spend more time on what actually matters: creating reliable, scalable websites that deliver value over the long term.
