BAA-covered hosting for healthcare organizations. Self-managed WordPress servers from $79 per month with the Business Associate Agreement included, or fully managed single-tenant AWS from $229 per month with free migration and the BAA signed within 24 hours.
HIPAA compliant hosting is web hosting configured to satisfy the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR § 164.312) and backed by a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that makes your host contractually accountable for safeguarding electronic protected health information. It pairs encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, access controls, and 24/7 monitoring so healthcare practices can run websites and applications without putting patient data at risk. No host is "HIPAA certified," because HHS certifies no one: compliance is the contract plus the controls. The full picture is in our complete guide to HIPAA compliant hosting.
Two ways to get BAA-covered hosting: run it yourself on our hardened server, or have us run everything.
A hardened, BAA-covered WordPress server. You migrate the site and manage it day to day.
Everything in the self-managed server, run for you on single-tenant AWS. Starting price; scales with your environment.

If your website collects, stores, or transmits patient information, through intake forms, appointment booking, a portal, or anything that ties a person to their health, you need BAA-covered hosting under 45 CFR § 164.308(b). A marketing site that collects zero PHI does not need us, and we will tell you so. Where the line falls is mapped in who needs HIPAA compliant hosting. For therapy practices, even contact form submissions can be PHI.
Every aspect of our hosting infrastructure is designed to meet HIPAA requirements and keep your practice safe.
Enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with redundant systems ensuring your data is always protected and available.
Purpose-built for WordPress with optimized server configurations, caching, and security hardening specific to CMS workloads.
Multi-region redundancy with automatic failover ensures your website stays online even during infrastructure disruptions.
Direct access to our team, no ticket queues or chatbots. We know your name, your setup, and your business needs.
We handle server updates, security patches, backups, and monitoring so you can focus on patient care, not server administration.
From small practices to large healthcare networks: scale your resources up to 96 vCPU and 384GB RAM as your business grows.
Four services designed to keep your healthcare business compliant and secure.
Standard WordPress hosts will not sign a BAA, which leaves your practice exposed the moment a form collects patient information. Ours is built for healthcare from the ground up.
From $79/month self-managed or $229/month managed
Building compliant infrastructure on a raw cloud account takes security expertise most practices do not have in-house. We deliver encrypted, fully managed cloud servers with the BAA signed.
Starting at $229/month
Clinics, telehealth providers, and health IT teams need infrastructure that treats patient data protection as the default, not an add-on. One platform serves them all.
Tracking scripts and cookies can leak patient data from your website even when the hosting itself is compliant. We audit what runs in your visitors' browsers and show you how to fix it.
Starting at $500
Every audience we host has its own compliance profile. Start with the guide written for yours.
Every safeguard, its citation, and how our environments cover it.
These are not best practices; they are federal requirements enforced by the HHS Office for Civil Rights, with 2026 civil penalties running from $145 to $2,190,294 per violation. When OCR investigates, it asks for your risk analysis first, then for evidence that each safeguard below was actually in place. A host cannot make your whole organization compliant, but it can arrive with the infrastructure half of this table already done and documented, which is exactly what our environments do. One distinction worth knowing: a vendor being "HIPAA eligible" means its BAA can cover a service; compliance only exists once the safeguards are configured and running. That is the difference between buying eligible parts and operating a compliant system.
| Safeguard | Where it lives in the rule | In every environment we build |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption at rest (AES-256) | § 164.312(a)(2)(iv) | Included |
| Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) | § 164.312(e)(2)(ii) | Included |
| Unique accounts and MFA | § 164.312(a)(2)(i), (d) | Included |
| Automatic logoff | § 164.312(a)(2)(iii) | Included, see our timeout guide |
| Audit logging, six-year retention | § 164.312(b), § 164.316(b)(2)(i) | Included |
| Backups and disaster recovery | § 164.308(a)(7) | Included, restores tested |
| Signed BAA | § 164.308(b) | Included at every tier |
| Risk analysis documentation | § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) | We supply the infrastructure-side documentation for your file |
The control-by-control version with configuration detail is our CFR-mapped security checklist.
A $10 shared plan is not slightly less compliant; it is categorically different.
Mainstream hosts fail healthcare customers at the contract stage, before a single technical control is evaluated: most will not sign a Business Associate Agreement for shared hosting at any price, and without that signature, placing patient data on their servers violates 45 CFR § 164.308(b) no matter how secure the stack is. The rows below show what else separates the two categories. Encryption, isolation, logging, and tested recovery are the defaults here because the Security Rule expects them, not because a plan tier unlocks them.
Basic web hosting
Healthcare-grade security
Included on managed plans. On the $79 self-managed tier, you run the migration and we provide the hardened server.
We map what your site collects, where PHI flows, and what the new environment needs.
Your new environment goes up under a signed BAA while your current site stays live.
DNS switches when everything is verified. BAA coverage overlaps, so there is no compliance gap on cutover day.
We're not a generic hosting company that added a "HIPAA compliant" badge. Compliance is the foundation of everything we build.
Our infrastructure meets the highest standards for healthcare data protection.
Full compliance with HIPAA Security Rule requirements
Business Associate Agreement included with every plan
Encryption at rest and in transit, on by default
Continuous security monitoring and threat detection
No hosting company is HIPAA certified, because no such certification exists. What matters is whether a host passes these five tests and will put it in writing.
Does the Business Associate Agreement cover the hosting service you are actually buying, or only a narrow slice of it?
Is your environment isolated from other customers, or is patient data sitting on crowded shared infrastructure?
Is encryption in transit and at rest on by default, or is it an upsell you have to remember to configure?
Are access and activity logs retained the way HIPAA expects, so you can prove what happened if anyone ever asks?
Will the host document its safeguards in writing, or does the compliance story live only on a marketing page?
See how the major HIPAA hosting providers compare on all five tests.
Healthcare data breaches are increasing in frequency and severity. Protect your practice with proper HIPAA compliance.

Every member of our team understands that behind every website we host are real patients trusting healthcare providers with their most sensitive information. That responsibility drives everything we do.
Practical guidance on HIPAA compliance, secure WordPress hosting, and healthcare website best practices.
Practices love WP Engine, so is WP Engine HIPAA compliant? No. Its published terms offer no Business Associate Agreement, and without a BAA no patient data can lawfully live there. Here is what its terms say, when WP Engine is still fine to use, and the two setups that work.
Every telehealth practice asks it: is Zoom HIPAA compliant? Yes, with conditions. Zoom signs a BAA on qualifying paid plans, but only on request, and HIPAA mode must be enabled. Free and standard accounts are never covered. Here is the plan-by-plan answer and the setup that works.
Every practice asks it eventually: is Calendly HIPAA compliant? On Free, Standard, and Teams plans, no, and Calendly's own terms prohibit PHI. Enterprise offers a conditional BAA. Here is the plan-by-plan answer, why encryption is not the test, and the scheduling setups that actually work.
