LAY7 cloud positions itself as managed cloud hosting specifically for web applications. The company describes a platform designed to feel like traditional web hosting while using Kubernetes-based infrastructure underneath. The service is presented as 'easy to use' with 'high security standards' and targets websites, online shops, and backend applications.
Across its product pages, LAY7 cloud highlights features such as isolated containers, automatic SSL certificates (via Let’s Encrypt), DDoS protection, automatic backups, monitoring and logging, and highly available load balancing with domain/path-based routing. For application infrastructure, it offers 'Spaces' with familiar access methods such as SFTP upload and SSH, along with selectable PHP versions and 'guaranteed resources' (RAM/vCPU). The platform also includes managed databases that are MySQL-compatible and protected by default through an internal network with access via controlled tunnels and an authentication system.
