Focus on Growth While Our App Hosting Keeps You Running
Access your business applications in the cloud from anywhere through our app hosting services, giving you the flexibility and reliability your business needs.
Flexible Application Hosting Solutions
At Northstar, we offer flexible hosting solutions that cater to both hosting applications for internal users and delivering services to customers. If your software company or in-house development team is currently using in-house servers, moving to the cloud or a dedicated server in a UK data centre can be a more cost-effective and efficient option. It also gives you the option to scale at pace when you grow.
Amazon Web Services is a popular choice for development companies but if you lack the expertise to conduct the infrastructure management and security yourself Northstar can help. Our Managed Hosting solutions include support, cyber security risk management, backup and disaster recovery.
We can even provide IT support for your customers with our dedicated IT Service Desk service.

App Hosting Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our app hosting services and how they can benefit your business.
What is app hosting and why might my business need it?
App hosting allows your business applications to run securely in the cloud or on a dedicated server, instead of being stored on in-house hardware. This gives you safe, remote access to your applications from anywhere, helping your team work more flexibly and efficiently.
By choosing app hosting, you reduce the need for costly equipment and manual updates, while benefiting from enhanced security, regular backups, and improved reliability. It’s an ideal solution for businesses looking to support hybrid working, increase performance, and keep data protected at all times.
Can you host applications for both internal teams and customers?
Yes. Our app hosting services can be fully tailored to support applications used by your internal teams as well as those that deliver services directly to your customers. Whether you’re hosting internal business systems such as CRMs, accounting platforms, or project management tools, or providing client-facing software and online portals, our hosting environment is designed to handle both securely and efficiently.
With Northstar’s flexible app hosting solutions, you can choose the level of control and resources that best fit your business. We ensure that each hosted application runs smoothly, with high availability, strong security, and consistent performance. This means your staff can collaborate effectively while your customers enjoy a reliable and seamless experience. Our infrastructure supports scalable growth, so as your business or user base expands, your hosted applications can easily adapt without disruption.
What’s included in your managed app hosting services?
Our managed app hosting services are designed to take care of every technical aspect so you can focus entirely on running your business. We handle all infrastructure management, ensuring your servers and systems remain stable, secure, and optimised for performance at all times. This includes monitoring server health, applying updates, and maintaining a reliable hosting environment for your applications.
We also provide comprehensive cyber security risk management, regular data backups, and full disaster recovery protection. These measures safeguard your business data against cyber threats, hardware failures, or unexpected outages, ensuring minimal downtime and quick recovery if an issue arises. With Northstar managing your app hosting, you can operate confidently knowing that your applications are secure, maintained by experts, and supported around the clock—leaving you free to focus on productivity and growth rather than technical maintenance.

Our goal is to help you deliver a seamless and consistent service experience that reflects the same quality and reliability your customers expect from your organisation.
