Manage Client Infrastructure at Scale
Agencies use Elestio to deploy and manage isolated environments for every client without hiring DevOps engineers. Automated backups, updates, monitoring - across all your client projects from one dashboard.
The Agency Infrastructure Challenge
Managing 10-50+ client environments means 10-50+ servers that need updates, backups, monitoring, and security patches. One missed update can compromise a client's site. One forgotten backup can destroy trust.
Manual Management
Without automation, every client requires hands-on server maintenance. SSL renewals, OS patches, database backups - multiplied by every client project. It doesn't scale.
Shared Hosting Risks
Cheap shared hosting means shared risk. One compromised site can affect others. Performance is unpredictable. Clients notice when their site is slow or down.
The Elestio Solution
Every client gets isolated services on dedicated VMs. 400+ tools available. All operations automated. Manage everything from a single dashboard with project-level isolation.

Key Features for Agencies
Project Isolation
Every client gets their own project with isolated services, credentials, and resources. No cross-contamination, no shared risk. Delete a project when a client leaves - clean and simple.
Multi-Cloud Deployment
Deploy clients in their preferred region across 100+ locations in 40 countries. Choose from Hetzner, AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, and more. Meet data residency requirements without extra work.
One Dashboard
Manage all client projects centrally. Monitor uptime, check backup status, deploy updates - across every client, from a single interface. No jumping between servers or control panels.
Predictable Billing
Per-service pricing makes it easy to invoice clients. You know exactly what each client costs. No surprise bandwidth charges, no variable compute fees. Easy to forecast margins.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I manage multiple clients from one Elestio account?
Yes. Elestio uses a project-based architecture. Create a separate project for each client with isolated services, credentials, and billing. Manage everything from a single dashboard.
-
Can I resell Elestio services to my clients?
Absolutely. Many agencies use Elestio as their backend infrastructure and mark up the services for their clients. You pay $11/mo per service and can charge your clients $50-100+/mo for managed hosting. Your clients never need to interact with Elestio directly.
-
Can I deploy clients in different regions?
Yes. Elestio supports 100+ regions across 40 countries with multiple cloud providers (Hetzner, AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, and more). Deploy each client in their preferred region for data residency or performance.
-
How are backups handled across client projects?
Every service gets automated daily backups by default, regardless of which project it belongs to. Backups are stored independently per service, so one client's backup schedule never affects another.
-
Do I need DevOps expertise to manage client infrastructure?
No. Elestio automates server provisioning, updates, backups, SSL certificates, and monitoring. If you can click deploy, you can manage client infrastructure. Full SSH access is available when you need deeper control.
-
Can I use custom domains for client services?
Yes. Every service supports custom domains with automatic SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt. Point your client's domain to their Elestio service and SSL is configured automatically.
