Can Education Host provide managed infrastructure?+
Yes. Education Host provides managed hosting, monitoring, backups, patching and infrastructure support for education platforms, delivered from a Tier III-aligned UK data-centre facility.

Yes. Case studies on this page include a school website migration completed outside working hours with no disruption, and an email migration from an IMAP server to Exchange 365 including historic mail.
Are all listed organisations current customers?+
No. Some case studies describe current relationships and some describe previous projects delivered by Education Host. They are included to show the range of education-focused work we have delivered.
Why is one case study anonymous?+
The managed research hosting case study is published anonymously at the customer's request. The project, requirements, outcomes and quote are real, but the researcher, institution and project details are deliberately not named.
How do we start a project with Education Host?+
Book a consultation through the Education Host website. We'll talk through what your institution needs, scope the right platform or service, and agree a plan — from student hosting pilots to managed infrastructure and migrations.
