MANAGED CLOUD SERVICES
Cloud, designed and run for predictable outcomes.
Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and hosting infrastructure, architected, deployed and operated for cost predictability, security baseline and reliable performance. We size environments correctly, monitor spend continuously, and identify waste before it hits your invoice.

Database performance
MariaDB / MySQL / PostgreSQL / SQL Server tuning, slow-query analysis, indexing review, replication architecture.
WHMCS & hosting platforms
WHMCS deployment and customisation, SendGrid integration, hosting reseller infrastructure, billing automation.
Compliance & security
Cloud security posture management (CSPM), policy as code, identity baseline, encryption at rest and in transit.
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
Designed, deployed and managed AVD environments. FSLogix profile management, session host scaling, image management.
COST DISCIPLINE
FinOps without the spreadsheet sprawl
Cloud bills don't surprise us. They shouldn't surprise you either. Every BaseHost cloud engagement includes continuous cost optimisation.
1
Continuous visibility
Tag policies, cost allocation by team/project/environment. You always know where the money is going.
2
Rightsizing
Monthly review of compute, storage and database sizing. Most clients see 20-35% reduction in cloud spend after the first quarter.
3
Reserved capacity
Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Committed Use Discounts, modelled and applied for predictable baseline workloads.
4
Licensing optimisation
M365 and Workspace licence audit, dormant account cleanup, downgrade where appropriate. Typical first-quarter saving 15-25%.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What does "managed cloud" actually mean?
Day-to-day operation of your Azure, M365, and Google Workspace environments, administration, governance, cost optimisation, security configuration, identity management, change control.
Do you do migrations as well as ongoing management?
Yes, migrations are typically a project engagement that hands over to managed services on completion.
What about Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)?
Yes, we design, deploy and manage Azure Virtual Desktop environments. AVD provisioning, FSLogix profile management, session host scaling, image management, all included.
Are you a Google Workspace partner?
No, we're not a Google Premier Partner. But we have extensive experience managing Workspace tenants and support it to the same standard as M365.
What's your approach to Azure cost optimisation?
Monthly cost review baked into managed services. Reserved instances, spot VMs, lifecycle management, right-sizing. Most clients save 20-30% in the first 90 days.
Multi-cloud?
Yes. We support what you have rather than push you to one provider.
Is Azure consumption included?
No. Azure consumption, M365 licensing, Workspace licensing, all billed separately at vendor cost.
HOW WE DELIVER MANAGED CLOUD
Cloud we run, not just provision.
Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft 365 are designed, built, monitored and cost-tuned by engineers who operate their own infrastructure every day. Resources are tagged so cost can be attributed accurately. Infrastructure as code is used where it earns its place, manual where it does not. Named on-call humans cover the platforms 24x7 for Severity 1 and 2 incidents, and a monthly bill review catches cost drift before the invoice does.
Cloud cost overruns are an operations problem dressed up as a vendor problem. We own the operations, so we own the cost. Right-sizing recommendations, reserved-instance and savings-plan suggestions, and orphaned-resource cleanup happen as part of the monthly cycle, not as a paid "cost optimisation engagement" three quarters later.
