Managed Docker Hosting for Startups — DevOps Without the Overhead
Tinaht Technology Services provides managed Docker hosting for startups and growing SMBs across New England. If you're running containerized applications but don't have a dedicated DevOps engineer, we handle the infrastructure — deployments, monitoring, backups, and security — so your team can focus on the product.
What's Included
What's Included in Managed Docker Hosting
Container Deployment & Orchestration
We configure Docker Compose or Docker Swarm environments tailored to your stack. Proper resource limits, restart policies, and health checks from day one.
CI/CD Pipeline Setup
Automated deployments triggered by your Git workflow (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI). Zero-downtime rolling deployments. Staging environments available on request.
24/7 Uptime Monitoring
Alerts and auto-restart policies so your services stay online. Container-level health checks, HTTP endpoint monitoring, and resource usage alerts. We respond to critical alerts.
Automated Backups
Daily backups of your data volumes with tested restore procedures. Backups stored off-site in S3-compatible storage. A backup you've never tested is a backup you can't trust.
SSL/TLS Management
Automatic certificate provisioning and renewal via Let's Encrypt. Your services are always on valid, up-to-date certificates without manual intervention.
Security Hardening
Container isolation, network policies, regular vulnerability scanning, and security updates for the host OS and Docker. Managed n8n hosting is a specialty — see our AI automation service.
Is This Right for You?
Who This Is For
Early-stage startups that need production-grade infrastructure without a full-time DevOps hire. Every hour a founder spends on servers is an hour not spent on customers or revenue.
Engineering teams that want to focus on features, not servers. If you're having a senior developer manage infrastructure on the side, you're paying senior rates for DevOps work.
Teams migrating from Heroku or PaaS who want more control without the operational burden. We migrate your stack, match the developer experience, and typically cut monthly infrastructure cost by 50–70%.
Agencies and SaaS companies running multiple containerized services that need consistent management and a team that's on-call when something breaks at 2am.

Case Study
PaaS Migration: Heroku to Managed Docker
A 12-person startup in Cambridge, MA was paying $1,200/month for a PaaS provider that locked them into slow deploy times and limited configuration options. We migrated their stack to Docker on Hetzner, configured automated CI/CD, and reduced their infrastructure costs to $280/month — while improving deploy frequency from weekly to multiple times per day.
"We'd been putting off the migration for a year because we didn't want to deal with the ops work. Tinaht handled the cutover on a Saturday with no downtime and handed us back a stack that's faster and half the cost."
Pricing
Managed Docker Hosting Pricing
Managed Docker hosting starts at $450/month for a single-server environment with up to 5 containers, monitoring, backups, and SSL management. Multi-server and high-availability configurations are scoped and quoted individually.
We also offer a one-time Docker infrastructure audit starting at $500. We'll review your current setup, identify risks, and deliver a prioritized remediation plan — no commitment to ongoing management required.
Most single-service migrations complete within 1–2 weeks. Multi-service migrations with CI/CD setup typically take 3–4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard VPS gives you a server and leaves the rest to you. Managed Docker hosting means we handle the Docker environment, deployments, monitoring, backups, and security — you get production-grade infrastructure without the operational burden.
For most startups, Docker Swarm or Compose provides 90% of what Kubernetes offers at a fraction of the complexity and cost. We recommend Kubernetes only when teams have grown to the point where its complexity is justified — typically 50+ containers or large engineering teams with dedicated platform engineers.
Yes — managed n8n hosting is one of our specialties. We deploy, configure, and maintain n8n instances as part of our n8n automation services, including managing updates, backups, and performance.
Yes. We support on-premise servers, cloud VPS, and hybrid configurations. Many New England companies prefer on-prem for compliance or latency reasons — we can manage those environments as well.
Most single-service migrations complete within 1–2 weeks. Multi-service migrations with CI/CD setup typically take 3–4 weeks. We work on a scheduled window — typically a weekend for cutover steps — with a tested rollback plan in place.
