ISVTEC
No Lock-in
Your hosting account, your provider contract, your access and your documentation stay yours. Leave or change provider at any time, without going through us.
Most managed hosts run your platform on their own infrastructure. It works, until the day you want to leave: then every server has to move. With ISVTEC, your servers never belong to us.
What you keep
- Your hosting account, in your company’s name, with the provider of your choice: AWS, Scaleway, OVHcloud, GCP, Hetzner, IONOS and others.
- Your contract with that provider. You pay the hosting bill directly: the cost of each machine is visible, and you negotiate it yourself. We bill for the service, never for hardware.
- Full access to the hosting account and to your servers.
- The documentation. Every action is logged and documented, and the operating documentation of your platform is yours.
How to leave
- Tell us in writing. Our subscriptions are monthly: the service ends at the end of the following month.
- We hand over the credentials, the operating documentation and, on request, your backups.
- Your servers stay where they are, with your provider: nothing to migrate.
You can also change provider at any time, without going through us.
