Managed infrastructure · a Stan Technology company
One person answers for your servers.
Dedicated servers, VPS, pipelines and AI hosting in British Columbia, managed by the operator who runs every other Stan Technology company on the same hardware. Write to us and the reply comes from the person who will be on the console.
Beat 1 — the surface
Each pin is a quarter of an hour of resource usage. Its height is the busiest moment inside it — not the average of it. Averages are where downtime hides: a five-minute mean will swallow the ninety seconds that actually took your checkout down. You can only mind what you can see.
Beat 2 — the quiet hours
The amber is work we put where nobody is looking: backups, index rebuilds, vacuum and restore tests, log compaction. A trough is not wasted capacity, it is when the housekeeping gets done — and doing it at four in the morning is why it never competes with your customers at four in the afternoon.
Beat 3 — the capacity ceiling
The capacity ceiling is the line where we add hardware — eighty percent of what the machine can actually do, not a hundred. The last fifth is where latency goes strange and there is no time left to act, so we never plan to use it. Nothing on this page has reached the ceiling, and the room above it is yours to spike into.
Beat 4 — the two climbs
Red is what was taken away. The steep one was a flood from outside, cut flat at the edge before it reached the machine. The slow one came from inside — a query that stopped using its index — caught on the way up, not at the top. Neither ran us out of room: headroom is what buys the time to tell them apart.
What one height leaves out
Capacity is not one number. A machine runs out of one thing at a time — and whichever goes first is the only one that matters that day. The field above collapses all of it into a single height so it can be read at a glance. What we actually watch is each of these on its own, and the ceiling is drawn against whichever is nearest its own limit:
Two things the picture also hides, both of which make the real ceiling lower than the drawing suggests. It is set for the machine that is not there: the line assumes a node has already failed and the others are carrying its work. And a flood is rarely about volume — it is usually packets per second or connection state exhausting a router long before bandwidth does, which is why it gets stopped at the edge rather than on your server.
Where the real numbers live
A drawing of your own uptime, made by the people selling you the uptime, is worth exactly nothing. So this section does not try to be one.
This is the example
The field shows how capacity gets handled on a production system: the shape of a working month, the line where hardware is added, the two kinds of climb and what happens to each of them. The numbers generating it are synthetic and change on every reload — that is deliberate, because the argument is the method, not the month. Nothing here claims to be a measurement.
This is the evidence
The live numbers get their own address: a status page with a monitor on each platform, published on Better Stack's own domain rather than ours. Uptime and every incident, written by the monitoring instead of by us — and kept on a host we do not control, so it is not ours to edit. If the two ever disagree, believe that page.
What we run
Five ways onto real infrastructure
Everything is managed — monitoring, patching and verified backups are the baseline, never an add-on with its own line item.
Managed Dedicated Servers
Real hardware, nobody else on it
A machine of your own — provisioned, hardened, monitored, patched and backed up by us. Predictable performance and a bill that never spikes because someone left a meter running.
from $299/mo Explore
Managed VPS
Where most workloads belong
NVMe-backed virtual servers, provisioned deliberately and watched continuously. This is where the AI services live too — sized for the job, managed like it matters.
from $39/mo Explore
CI/CD & DevOps
Push. Test. Ship. Sleep.
Pipelines that build, test and deploy on every push, plus the unglamorous DevOps glue — environments, secrets, rollbacks — set up once and maintained so deploys stay boring.
from $349/mo Explore
AI Agent Hosting
Agents need somewhere to live
Always-on runtimes for the agents and automations your business depends on — n8n, custom stacks, whole fleets — watched like production, because that is what they are.
from $79/mo Explore
Model Routing & AI Connectivity
Flat fee. Zero token markup.
A managed gateway between your apps and every model provider — one endpoint, your keys, automatic failover, budgets and logs. We charge for the service, never a percentage of your tokens.
