Hosting and security
We host it, look after it, and check its security before it goes live
No servers to buy and no IT team needed. We run your system for you, with nightly encrypted backups, security updates, and fixes for anything that stops working as agreed.
Every time a new version goes live, it first goes through a security review: all of the code is read and the running system is tested, with a deliberate attempt to break in. Each problem we find is reproduced where it can be, fixed, and covered by a test that catches it if it ever comes back.
- Hosted for youA small virtual machine we set up, run and look after. Nothing to run on your side.
- In IndiaFor Indian clients the default is a server in India.
- NightlyEncrypted backups pushed offsite, with the restore rehearsed before go-live.
- Not for trainingYour data is not used to train any model.
- In the databaseOne client's data is invisible to another, enforced by the database itself.
- Every deploymentA security review before each production deployment.
Where it runs
By default, we host it for you
Your system runs on a small virtual machine that we set up, run and look after, so there is nothing for you to buy or manage. If your data has to stay in one region, or you want the system on your own servers, we set it up there instead.
-
01 · The default
Hosted by us
For most builds the default: a small virtual machine we run and look after. Our own booking product runs on 6 vCPU and 6 GB.
For youNothing to set up or run on your side.
-
02
In India, or in your region
For Indian clients the default is a server in India. Elsewhere, cloud hosting kept inside the region your data has to stay in.
For youYour data stays where it has to, and you still run no servers yourself.
-
03
Your own cloud or servers
The system runs in your own private cloud or on your own servers.
For youA normal set-up for us. Your infrastructure, your network, the same month.
-
04 · Special cases
Fully air-gapped
No connection to outside networks at all. Models, weights and dependencies are delivered without a network path, with an offline procedure for updates and rollback.
For youMore work than a cloud build. We say what it costs before you commit.
The build, the tests and the security review are the same in all four. What changes is where the system lives and how it is reached. The hosting line in the price changes with where it runs, not with the month.
After go-live
We look after it once it is live
The system runs on hosting we set up and look after. Hosting and ongoing support are free for the first 6 months. After that, the price for maintenance and the production server starts from ₹3K a month.
What is included
- The hosting environment, set up and looked after by us.
- Nightly encrypted backups, kept offsite, with a rehearsed restore.
- Security updates and patches.
- Fixes for anything that stops working as agreed.

Your data
Your data stays where you decide
- Where it lives
- Where you decide. For Indian clients the default is a server in India, under the DPDP Act, India's data protection law.
- Training
- Your data is not used to train any model.
- Backups
- Encrypted and pushed offsite nightly. The restore is rehearsed before go-live.
- Deletion
- Deletion on request is a procedure, not a negotiation.
- Where answers come from
- Every answer an AI system gives carries its sources: what was retrieved, and which passage or tool it came from.
- When the answer is not there
- When the answer is not in the approved material, the system says so and routes to a person rather than guessing.
The hand-over
You own the code on payment
When your acceptance test passes and you pay the rest of the fixed price, the code is yours, with its tests, documentation and runbooks, so your own developers can take over whenever you like. This is what you receive.
- The repository, with its testsAll of the code. Run the test suite yourself: the fixtures and the instructions to run it on Linux are included.
- The documentation
- The runbooksWritten step-by-step procedures for running the system.
- The build logDated, like the worked example in the security review.
- The backup and restore procedure, rehearsed
