Light Hosting
Hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, and security patches — keep your deployed systems running without the overhead.
What It Is
Light Hosting is managed hosting billed monthly per project — pick the tier that matches the system: a static site, a small app, a CMS, or a full-stack business application. Every tier bundles hosting, SSL management, Cloudflare/DNS configuration, uptime monitoring, and OS security patches. You built it or we built it, either way it stays online without you thinking about infrastructure.
No feature development, no bug fixes, no new integrations. Managed hosting with monitoring and routine infrastructure maintenance, so you do not have to think about infrastructure. You pay for managed hosting as a service — the underlying infrastructure is our implementation detail, not your line item.
Who It's For
Static and brochure sites that need fast, boringly reliable hosting. Small apps and APIs (PocketBase, Node, small databases) that need Docker hosting without DevOps overhead. WordPress and WooCommerce sites that need application-plus-database hosting. Business systems (Spring Boot, full-stack apps) that need allocated resources and monitoring. Anyone who wants peace of mind without paying for a full support or DevOps retainer.
What's Included
- Containerised deployment and hosting
- Domain and SSL configuration assistance
- Client-owned Cloudflare/DNS configuration support
- Basic uptime monitoring and alerts
- Infrastructure-level OS security maintenance
- Monthly status report
What's Not Included
- Application bug fixing or code changes
- Feature development or new builds
- Application dependency upgrades requiring code changes
- Application rebuilds caused by dependency or framework changes
- CI/CD pipeline management
- Full observability (see Observability service)
- Backup storage or disaster recovery (see Backup Management)
- Unlimited redeployment or reconfiguration work
- Guaranteed uptime SLA (hosting is best-effort unless a separate SLA is agreed in writing)
- Domain registration fees (paid directly to your registrar)
SSL certificates issued through Let's Encrypt or Cloudflare carry no separate charge. Ongoing SSL configuration, renewal management, and monitoring are bundled into every hosting tier — they are part of the service, not itemized extras. Deployment and configuration work is engineering; the certificate itself is free.
What You Get Each Month
Automated Uptime Checks
24/7 automated uptime monitoring. Automated availability checks run around the clock with a live status view. Failed checks are flagged for review, with incidents investigated during normal business hours or as soon as reasonably practical where circumstances require.
Security Patching
OS and infrastructure security updates applied during maintenance windows. Application dependency upgrades requiring code changes are separately billable engineering work.
Monthly Report
Uptime stats, patch log, and any issues flagged. You always know the state of your infrastructure.
Hosting Tiers
One tier per project, billed monthly. Project builds include initial deployment and setup — ongoing hosting below is always billed separately.

Optional Add-Ons
- External/off-site backups — +R100–R200/month depending on storage (heavy needs quoted)
- Secondary/failover node — +R100–R200/month
- Priority support response — +R200–R500/month
- Additional storage — quoted (pass-through + management)
- Major migration or recovery work — quoted separately
Domain registration and renewal are paid directly to your registrar — we handle the DNS configuration. Every tier already includes SSL management, Cloudflare/DNS setup, monitoring, and OS security patches; the add-ons above cover everything beyond that baseline.
Availability & Support Response
Light Hosting is a managed, best-effort hosting service. NemesisNet manages the hosting environment — infrastructure monitoring, availability monitoring, Docker and application services, and routine maintenance.
Hosting environments are continuously monitored for availability. Availability checks run continuously, with service interruptions flagged for investigation during normal business hours. Detected service interruptions are investigated during normal business hours, and reasonable efforts are made to restore affected services where possible.
Hosting is provided on a best-effort basis and does not include a guaranteed uptime SLA unless a separate SLA is agreed in writing. Planned maintenance, upstream provider outages, network failures, DNS issues, client-side changes, third-party services, and circumstances outside NemesisNet's reasonable control may affect availability.
Need a formal uptime SLA, redundancy, managed backups, or failover? These are available as additional managed services and can be specified per project — see the Custom tier and add-ons above.
If your system needs grow beyond basic hosting, the Support Retainer (from R7,500/month) provides reserved support capacity for troubleshooting and maintenance. The DevOps Retainer covers infrastructure and CI/CD management.
