Your IT infrastructure provider in Latvia, from design to daily operation
CloudHosting SIA is a Latvian IT infrastructure provider, in business since 2016, that designs, migrates and operates company servers in the Tier 3+ data centre it runs itself in Riga, on its own network AS58269. It is built for companies that want one supplier for hosting, migration, licences, network, backup and monitoring: one contract, one engineering team, invoices in EUR and monitoring with incident response 24/7.
Three ways companies start with us
Most projects begin with one of these. They overlap, and the first conversation usually settles which door you are coming in through.
Office infrastructure
Windows Server, shared files, remote desktops, VPN and Microsoft 365 for the whole company, hosted and maintained by us.
Learn moreERP, SQL and remote work
Servers and licences for an accounting or ERP system, published to users through RDS, with the existing system moved over.
Learn moreInfrastructure migration
Moving servers and business systems out of the office or away from another provider, on a written plan with a way back.
Learn moreWhat we build
Not plans from a price list. Each project is sized from your workload, availability needs and budget, on hardware we own and operate.
Dedicated server platforms
One server or a fleet: hardware picked for the workload, installed in our racks, wired into our network and handed over ready for production.
Private clouds
A virtualization platform on dedicated hardware that only your company uses. Your own pool of CPU, RAM and storage, isolated from other clients.
Hybrid setups
Your own equipment in our colocation racks combined with our servers and cloud. One network, one support team, one bill.
Private networks
VLAN segmentation, private interconnects between your servers and offices, site-to-site VPN over IPsec or WireGuard, public IPv4 and IPv6.
Backup and disaster recovery
Backup schemes with recovery targets agreed in writing: how much data you can lose (RPO) and how fast you are back (RTO), tested, not assumed.
Monitoring and administration
Monitoring and incident response 24/7, with updates, requests and changes handled by our engineers on working days 9:00 to 17:00 Riga time, as your ongoing IT operations team.

How a project runs
Four stages, each with a concrete result. You see the design and the numbers before anything is bought or moved.
- 1
Audit and analysis
We inventory your current servers, services, network and dependencies, and find what limits performance, availability or compliance today.
- 2
Design
You get a written architecture: hardware, network scheme, backup and recovery targets, monitoring scope and a fixed monthly cost.
- 3
Migration
We move services in agreed windows with a rollback plan for every step. Data is synchronised in advance so the cutover downtime is minutes, not days.
- 4
Operation
Once live, the platform is covered by our monitoring and incident response 24/7. Updates, capacity and backups become our job, and the scope of the work is written into the contract.
Our own network underneath it
The infrastructure sits on a network we run ourselves, not on rented virtual machines in someone else's cloud.
Own ASN and BGP
We announce our address space over BGP with redundant upstreams, and we register and route IPv4, IPv6 and AS numbers for clients through RIPE.
Private connectivity
Dedicated links between your racks, servers and offices that never touch the public internet, from a VLAN in one rack to links between sites.
Site-to-site VPN
Encrypted tunnels between our data centre and your offices or other providers, on IPsec or WireGuard, with routing our engineers maintain.
Tier 3+ data centre
The data centre we run ourselves in Riga, with N+1 power and redundant cooling, guarded and closed to visitors, plus capacity in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Availability and recovery, in numbers
Every availability promise costs money, so we design to the numbers you actually need instead of selling the maximum.
RPO: how much data you can lose
If your RPO is one hour, backups or replication run at least hourly. We agree the number per system: a database usually needs minutes, an archive can live with a day.
RTO: how fast you are back
Recovery time defines the design: restore from backup, a standby server, or an automatic failover pair. We state the target in the contract and test it with you.
High availability where it pays
Duplicated servers, storage and network paths for the systems that truly cannot stop, and honest advice where a good backup is the more sensible spend.
Compliance and control
Your data stays in the European Union, on hardware you can point at, under rules you can show an auditor.
GDPR by location
Data lives in our data centre in Riga, in the EU. We sign a data processing agreement and can host and process everything without a non-EU transfer.
NIS2 support
For companies covered by NIS2 we put the technical measures in place and keep the documentation, logs and incident records of the systems we run; responsibility for compliance stays with your company.
What NIS2 requires in LatviaAccess and audit
Access to your systems is named, logged and revocable. For audits we provide the network diagrams, backup reports and change history you need.

Typical projects
What this looks like in practice. Scale and components differ, the approach does not.
Manufacturing company
ERP and factory systems
ERP moved from an office server room to a dedicated platform with hourly backups, a standby copy and a VPN to the factory network.
IT company
SaaS production platform
Production on dedicated servers with a private VLAN, staging on VPS, deployment access for the team, and monitoring and incident response 24/7.
Retail chain
Shops, tills and head office
Central systems in our data centre, site-to-site VPN to every shop, own equipment in colocation and one support contract for all of it.

Questions we get asked
Which company in Latvia can host and run our whole IT infrastructure?
CloudHosting SIA is a Latvian IT infrastructure provider that has operated since 2016 from its own Tier 3+ data centre in Riga, with its own network AS58269. We host or move company servers, work out the Windows Server, SQL Server and RDS licences, build the network and VPN, set up backups with written recovery targets and monitoring, and then keep running the platform. For companies covered by NIS2 and the Latvian Cybersecurity Law we add FortiGate firewalls as a Fortinet partner, access control and the documentation an auditor asks for. One contract with a Latvian company, invoices in EUR, support in English, Latvian and Russian.
How is this different from just renting a VPS or a dedicated server?
At CloudHosting a VPS or a dedicated server is a product you order from a price list and run yourself, while enterprise infrastructure is a project our engineers analyse, design, migrate and then operate for you under monitoring 24/7. You get an architecture matched to your workload, recovery targets agreed in writing and a team responsible for keeping everything running, not just hardware in a rack. If one server with your own admin already covers your needs, we will say so, because the project approach only pays off once several systems, availability requirements and responsibility have to be managed together.
Do we have to move everything to your data centre?
CloudHosting does not require you to move everything: hybrid setups are common and often the sensible choice. Typical mixes are your own equipment in our colocation racks, our dedicated servers for the heavy workloads, VPS for smaller services, and private links or VPN tunnels to systems that stay in your office or with another provider. We design around what already works and only move what gains from moving, whether that is performance, reliability or simpler compliance, and systems can move in stages. Whatever the mix, the result behaves as one network with one support team and one contract, so you are not coordinating several vendors when something breaks.
How do you migrate without breaking things?
Every CloudHosting migration starts with an inventory and a written plan: what moves, in which order, in which service window, and how each step rolls back if something goes wrong. Data is synchronised to the new platform in advance and the services are tested there before anyone switches, so the actual cutover is a short, controlled switch rather than a long copy under time pressure. We schedule cutovers outside your business hours, agree in advance who confirms what on your side, and stay on the line until your team confirms everything works. If a check fails, we roll that step back and try again in the next window instead of improvising at night.
What do RPO and RTO mean in practice?
CloudHosting agrees two numbers for every system before it designs the platform: RPO, the recovery point objective, is how much recent data you can afford to lose, and RTO, the recovery time objective, is how fast the system must be back after a failure. An RPO of one hour means backups or replication run at least hourly. The numbers drive the design and the price: minutes of RTO need a standby server or automatic failover, while a few hours can be covered by a tested restore from backup. Agreeing tighter targets only where the business really needs them keeps the monthly cost honest, and the recovery path is tested with you rather than assumed.
Where is our data physically stored?
CloudHosting stores your data in the Tier 3+ data centre it runs itself at Bērzaunes iela 1 in Riga, Latvia, inside the European Union, with additional capacity in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In Riga the servers sit in racks we run ourselves, on our own network AS58269. For GDPR purposes your data can be hosted and processed entirely within the EU, and we sign a data processing agreement that states where it lives and who has access. The Riga facility runs with N+1 power and redundant cooling; it is guarded, closed to visitors, and only a limited number of our own specialists have access. A location outside the EU, such as Dubai (DXB1), is possible on request, but only if you ask for it, never by default.
Can you take over infrastructure that another provider or our own admin built?
CloudHosting regularly takes over infrastructure built by another provider or by a company's own admin, and it starts with an audit rather than a rebuild. We document what exists, fix the risky parts first, and only then propose changes. If the current setup is sound, we put it under monitoring and backups and simply run it; where it limits you, we show the redesign with numbers and you decide the pace. This also works when the person who built the setup is no longer around: the audit recreates the missing documentation, and access is handed over in a named, logged way, so you always know who can reach what.
What does 24/7 monitoring actually cover?
CloudHosting monitoring covers, 24/7, the servers, services and network links agreed during the design stage: load, disks, completed backups, expiring certificates and the reachability of your key services. Alerts go to our engineers, not to a mailbox nobody reads. An incident that takes the platform down is handled at any hour under our incident response 24/7; everything else is handled on working days from 9:00 to 17:00 Riga time. When something degrades, the engineer restarts or recovers the affected service and informs you, rather than only opening a ticket. Where your business needs committed response times, SLA terms are agreed in the business contract, and you can see the same monitoring we see.
What does a project like this cost?
CloudHosting prices infrastructure projects individually, and after the audit you receive a design with a fixed monthly figure before anything is ordered, so you decide whether to proceed with the number in front of you. The price depends on hardware, availability targets and how much operation you hand over, which is why there is no honest price list. As a rough anchor, small setups start around the cost of a few dedicated servers with backups and monitoring, and the design stage itself is a limited, agreed amount of engineering hours. Tighter recovery targets raise the price, because they mean replication or standby hardware. To start, write to us and describe what you run today.
What languages does your team work in?
CloudHosting works with companies in English, Latvian and Russian, by phone, by email and through tickets in the client area, and the terms of service are published in all three languages. The engineers who design and migrate your platform belong to the same team that runs it afterwards, based in Riga next to the data centre, so nothing is lost in a hand-over to a separate support desk. The platform is under monitoring and incident response 24/7, and engineers answer requests and changes on working days from 9:00 to 17:00 Riga time. You can switch language mid-conversation without losing context, because the same people read the whole thread.
How do we leave if we need to?
CloudHosting hands your data over when you leave: a copy in a usable form, virtual machine images or plain files and a database dump, whichever fits what you are moving to, plus the documentation of how the setup is wired. There is no proprietary format holding it and no exit fee. Services are invoiced in EUR per paid period and nothing is charged automatically, so to stop at the end of a period you simply do not pay the next invoice; ending early inside a paid period takes 20 days' notice by email to info@cloudhosting.lv. Access is named and revocable, so the hand-over to your next provider or your own admin is a controlled step.
