Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

UpCloud is pleased to announce we now support Valkey™!
Valkey is a managed service that enables customers to get all the features of open source Redis® without any of the infrastructure stress. Whether you need high-performance data caching, robust message queuing capabilities or a persistent key-value database, Valkey has you covered.

At UpCloud, we pride ourselves on being a strong advocate for open-source technologies.
With Redis’s recent licensing shift from open-source to a commercially restrictive license, we decided to align with a solution that upholds the core values of open-source development.
This is why we are transitioning to Valkey, a fully open-source project backed by the Linux Foundation. By adopting Valkey, UpCloud ensures continued transparency, community collaboration, and freedom from corporate control in our managed key-value database service.
This move reinforces our commitment to empowering developers with open, flexible, and reliable cloud solutions. Highlighting our continued commitment to open-source, UpCloud customers can continue to benefit from access to the most popular and widely adopted open-source data and AI technologies.
