Sustainable Umbraco Hosting with UmbHost. Welcoming Aaron Sadler to Growcreate

Some people follow well-worn paths. Aaron Sadler has always taken his own route.

His journey into hosting began young, as he tinkered with servers while still in school. By 2009, he'd turned that curiosity into a business, and when he discovered Umbraco years later, it set the direction for what came next.

"I wanted to create hosting that made life easier for developers, with a service they could rely on." — Aaron Sadler.

That principle became UmbHost. From the outset, Aaron focused on three key aspects: reliability, value, and sustainability. Hosting that not only kept Umbraco sites fast and available but also reduced environmental impact. Where others relied on offsets, UmbHost built its platforms on infrastructure powered by renewable energy and more innovative use of hardware.

Why UmbHost matters for Umbraco developers

Over time, UmbHost built a reputation for dependable Umbraco hosting. Developers and agencies recognised UmbHost for its responsiveness, its support for the latest Umbraco versions from day one, and its commitment to providing them with tools that make their work easier. Growth has been steady and intentional, driven by trust in the Umbraco community.

"Sustainability should be a baseline, not a nice-to-have." — Aaron Sadler

Now, with UmbHost joining Growcreate, Aaron is ready for the next chapter.

Growing with Growcreate

"UmbHost has always worked well for developers and agencies. Joining Growcreate means we can take it to another level and reach businesses where sustainability should matter most. And we can do that while staying true to our values."

For Aaron, this partnership means scaling without compromise. Backed by Growcreate's pan-European team, UmbHost can now offer:

• Sustainable, high-performance Umbraco hosting
• 24/7 monitoring and support
• Built-in failover and backups as standard
• Affordable, predictable pricing

"Hosting isn't a commodity. It's a partnership. And with UmbHost and Growcreate together, we can give the Umbraco community a faster, greener, more affordable option." — Aaron Sadler.

The future of Umbraco hosting

Aaron believes the next era of hosting isn't about lock-in or inflated cloud costs. It's about features like load balancing and failover built in by default. It's about greener infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. It's about providing Umbraco developers with credible alternatives to big tech.

From early learning on his Intel Pentium III to shaping the future of sustainable hosting, Aaron's story has always been about building without compromise. Now, together with Growcreate, that story continues.

UmbHost joins Growcreate to offer developers and agencies a faster, greener, more affordable Umbraco hosting option, led by founder and three-time Umbraco MVP Aaron Sadler.
