Chainstack solution hosting options

Hosting

Access the power of Chainstack in a way that works for you.

Chainstack can be used as a fully-managed service run in our optimized multi-cloud infrastructure, 100% hosted in your data center or with selected components deployed in the location of your choice.

Hybrid

Have the freedom to select which components of the Chainstack infrastructure you’d like to manage and operate yourself, letting Chainstack take care of the rest.

Great for customers who are concerned about self-sovereignty of nodes, keys and infrastructure, but don’t want to build their own tools for orchestration.

Use case scenario: A software vendor makes use of Chainstack as a control panel (via a UI or API) to orchestrate and manage blockchain nodes, networks and services running entirely in their own custom infrastructure.

Chainstack-managed hosting vs hybrid hosting

With Chainstack-managed hosting, you get the complete managed blockchain services experience: monitoring, logging, backups, deployment of fully synced nodes, and request metrics. With hybrid hosting, you get the nodes running in your own infrastructure.

Features	Chainstack-managed hosting	Hybrid hosting
Monitoring	Complete node monitoring: node availability and node health.	Partial node monitoring: node availability is monitored.
Analytics and logging	Full node logging and resource consumption logging. For elastic Chainstack-managed hosting nodes, request metrics are collected: number of requests, a breakdown of method calls, and server response data. For dedicated Chainstack-managed hosting nodes, request metrics, CPU, memory, and storage usage data are collected.	Analytics solution setup on request.
Backups	Public chain protocols — Daily automated backups that enable the provision of fully synced nodes in a matter of hours. Consortium protocols — On-demand backups are available to customers.	You can use your own backup solution available on the market.
Bolt	Dedicated nodes are deployed as synced and near-instantly available for use.	A node must be synced from scratch, which takes weeks or months. To reduce the sync time to hours, a manual snapshot transfer is also available on the Enterprise subscription.
Billing	You pay for the subscription and the node usage.	You pay for the subscription and node management fee.
Cloud providers and regions	It is possible to use the default Chainstack cloud providers to run a node on.	You are not limited to the Chainstack supported cloud providers. Use your own cloud infrastructure.
Benefits	Easy to deploy and manage nodes. Low operation costs. Near-instant node availablity.	Blockchain is completely running in your cloud, which is useful in various scenarios, including compliance related concerns. For any application running on top of blockchain, the latency will benefit from the choice to colocate the application on the same server as the node.

Self-hosted

License a self-hosted Chainstack solution to have full control over operating every component yourself. Great for clients interested in fully hosted solutions who have the capabilities to manage everything in-house.

Use case scenario: A service provider willing to provide managed blockchain services to their customers. Chainstack packages all the components for the hosted installation so that the service provider can leverage their own infrastructure and all other existing functions such as billing.

Chainstack-managed

Get instant access to a fully-managed blockchain as a service.

Perfect if you need complete functionality right out of the box. No need to host or manage any software components yourself.
