We keep your custom apps running in production.
Z9 Platform is managed application hosting for the custom software we build. We run the servers, the database, backups, monitoring, email, and security, so your agency never needs an in-house server team. Your code is yours, and you can move it anytime.
Everything it takes to run a custom app.
Running a modern web application reliably is ongoing work. Z9 Platform handles all of it on AWS-backed infrastructure.
Application servers
PHP application servers, configured and tuned for the apps we build.
Managed database
MySQL database servers, set up, tuned, and maintained for you.
Monitoring
Server, disk, database, and site monitoring around the clock.
Automated backups
Daily automated backups with retention, so nothing is lost.
Transactional email
A managed SMTP service so your app’s email reliably gets delivered.
Error reporting
A centralized error service that catches problems and alerts us early.
Security and updates
Operating system patches, security updates, and version upgrades, handled.
SSL and scaling
SSL on every site, with scaling and resizing as traffic grows.
Same stack we run
The same infrastructure we run our own products on, including Z9 Promo.
We build it. You own it. We run it.
We build it
Z9 Digital scopes, architects, and builds the custom application for your agency’s client.
You own it
The source code is delivered to you. The Z9 Engine rapid development framework comes with a perpetual license.
We run it
Z9 Platform hosts and operates the app in production, so your team never has to staff a server room.
Security, scaling, backups, email, error tracking, and monitoring are real, ongoing work. Z9 Platform takes that off your plate so your team stays focused on clients and creative, not infrastructure.
Your code is yours. You can leave anytime.
We are honest about this. Z9 Platform is a service, not a cage.
- Source code delivered with every build. The custom app we build for you is yours to keep.
- Host anywhere you choose. The app can run on any infrastructure you prefer, not just ours.
- Your data goes with you. You have access to your database backups, so nothing is locked inside our platform.
Running PHP and MySQL reliably requires expertise and experience. Z9 Platform is similar to WP Engine, Kinsta, or Vercel: the code is portable and the managed hosting operations are the service.
