Installed in one click. Who operates it afterwards?
A preconfigured installation of ChirpStack makes it easier to get started. With chirphost, we also handle the agreed ongoing operation of your instance: updates, monitoring and backups.
On smaller screens, scroll sideways to compare both columns.
| Responsibility | One-click installation | With our managed hosting |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | The software is deployed with an initial configuration. This alone does not establish ongoing operational responsibility. | You receive a dedicated instance with the described ongoing operations, not just an initial installation. |
| Updates and security patches | An installed version needs ongoing maintenance. Check who handles updates and which components are covered. | We handle updates and security patches for ChirpStack and the components we operate within the agreed hosting scope. |
| Monitoring and incidents | After installation, responsibility for monitoring the instance and handling technical incidents still needs to be established. | We monitor the instance around the clock. Support response times and service hours follow your selected tier. |
| Backups | A running application is not a backup. Setup, retention and restoration responsibilities need to be agreed. | Automatic backups are part of hosting. Retention and restoration follow the agreed service scope. |
One-click describes deployment, not the ongoing service scope. These offers may also include operational services. Check the agreed responsibilities, not just the server price.

Customer testimonial about working with WZ-IT
WZ-IT projectInfrastructure ModernizationGermany
Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.
