FileMaker hosting isn't just about renting server space. It's about understanding how FileMaker Server works, how to optimize database performance, how to secure your data, and how to scale your infrastructure as your business grows. We've been doing this since 2003, and we've seen just about every scenario you can imagine.
Our blog covers practical topics like choosing the right server location for your team, understanding the differences between FileMaker Cloud and traditional hosting, optimizing database performance, implementing proper backup strategies, and leveraging tools like OttoFMS for automated deployments. We write from experience—these are real solutions to real problems we've solved for our clients.
Whether you're running a small business with a single FileMaker database or managing enterprise deployments with dozens of files and hundreds of users, you'll find actionable advice here. We focus on what actually works, not theoretical best practices that fall apart in the real world.
We've been hosting FileMaker databases since 2003. That's over 20 years of experience with FileMaker Server across every major version, every hosting platform, and every type of deployment scenario. We've migrated databases from closet servers to enterprise data centers, from traditional Mac hosting to modern cloud infrastructure, and from FileMaker Cloud to traditional hosting (and back again).
Our infrastructure runs on Google Cloud Platform with servers in 40+ global locations. We use OttoFMS for all our deployments, automated backups run continuously, and our monitoring systems alert us immediately if anything goes wrong. When we write about FileMaker hosting, we're writing about the same infrastructure we use to host our clients' production databases.
