A business-critical website needs an operating model, rather than an unmanaged server account.
Our managed hosting for industrial websites combines an appropriately sized environment with updates, backups, monitoring, release discipline and a support route people can use. It gives internal teams a clear way to keep a corporate site, a product catalogue, a document library or a distributor portal reliable after launch.
Industrial platforms fail in specific ways. A large PDF library saturates bandwidth, an ERP integration times out at month end, a certificate expires on a subdomain no one remembers owning, or a plugin update breaks a product filter three markets rely on. The operating routine is built around those failure modes rather than around a generic uptime figure.
Hosting is inseparable from security patching, backups, monitoring, performance, access control and how changes reach production. We define those responsibilities explicitly, so an incident or an urgent update follows a process rather than being improvised by whoever is available.
That includes the boring parts that decide outcomes: a staging environment that matches production, a documented release route, certificate and domain renewal tracked centrally, dependency updates on a schedule, and a written record of who may deploy. Most of the emergencies we are called into began as one of those being absent.
When a platform connects to product data, document repositories, forms or account services, support has to understand the dependencies. A slow catalogue page and a stalled ERP synchronisation look similar from the outside and need entirely different responses.
We keep the hosting and maintenance approach connected to how the website is used, which means knowing which journeys matter commercially, which integrations run on a schedule, which markets are in scope and who to contact on your side when a source system rather than the website is the cause.
Distributor portals, installer areas, enquiry forms and careers sections hold personal data, which makes data residency, retention, access and backup handling contractual questions rather than technical preferences.
We implement the technical requirements your data processing agreement specifies, so the document your legal team drafts is backed by infrastructure configured to match it: where data is stored, who can reach it, how long backups are retained and what happens to them at the end of that period.
Code Industrial is the industrial B2B practice of Code Barcelona, an agency building corporate websites and digital platforms since 2015. The same strategy, design and engineering team works on every industrial project, from the first scoping session through to life after launch.
The requirement changes with the platform, its integrations and its business criticality. Managed hosting for industrial websites starts with that operating context.
What IT and compliance teams ask before committing to hosting.
The exact service follows the platform, but it normally covers a sized hosting environment, backups with a defined retention period, monitoring and alerting, security and maintenance routines, controlled core and dependency updates, a staging environment, a documented release route and an agreed support path with response times. We write down which responsibilities sit with us and which stay with your team, so no responsibility depends on an assumption during an incident.
Yes. We start with a technical review of the current platform, hosting, integrations, access and maintenance state, then plan a controlled transition with a rehearsed cutover and a rollback route. Where the site carries accumulated search visibility, the migration plan preserves URLs, redirects and response headers, because a hosting move that quietly changes those is one of the more common causes of an unexplained traffic drop.
Yes, after an audit to understand what is running, since responsible hosting depends on knowing a platform’s real dependencies and weak points first. Occasionally that audit concludes the build cannot be hosted responsibly without remediation, such as an unsupported core version, abandoned plugins or credentials shared across environments. We say so plainly, and price the remediation separately, rather than taking on an agreement we could not stand behind.
It depends on the agreement, matched to what the platform does. A distributor portal that stops orders warrants a different commitment from a low-traffic corporate site, and the terms are set against that reality rather than as a flat promise that fits neither case. We agree response and target resolution times per severity level, define who can raise an incident, and set out what happens outside working hours before the arrangement starts.
Yes, EU-based hosting is standard for our industrial clients and we can confirm the region for the application, the database, the backups and the content delivery layer, which is the part most often overlooked. Where a group policy requires a specific country or a specific provider, we work within it. The data processing agreement, sub-processor list and retention periods are documented so your legal and IT teams can review them properly.
Through a staging environment that matches production, a defined release window and a rollback plan. Security patches are applied promptly; feature and dependency updates are batched, tested against the journeys that matter commercially, and released deliberately. On multi-market estates we check the templates that vary by country, since a change that is safe on the main site can still break a local variant that uses a component differently.
Document-heavy industrial sites put more load on delivery than on the application, so drawings, datasheets and certificates are served through a caching layer with sensible headers, and gated files are served through an access check rather than an unguessable link. Peaks around trade fairs, catalogue releases and month-end ordering are planned for with headroom or scaling, agreed in advance rather than discovered on the day.
Hosting is usually part of an ongoing maintenance relationship. These are the services it pairs with.
