HIPAA Compliant Hosting is a healthcare hosting provider based in Portland, Oregon. We publish our prices, we sign the Business Associate Agreement before any patient data moves to us, and we put every claim where you can check it. We also say the quiet part out loud: some websites do not need HIPAA hosting at all, and when yours is one of them, we will say so. The product is the hosting layer done right, plus a straight answer about everything else.

Not sure where you stand?

Two minutes, one straight answer: does your website need HIPAA hosting at all?

Take the two-minute assessment

What HIPAA compliant hosting means

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 the host contractually accountable for protecting electronic protected health information.

The contract
A signed BAA before any patient data moves, per 45 CFR § 164.308(b).
The controls
Encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and audit logging under § 164.312.
The operations
24/7 monitoring and tested, encrypted backups so a practice can run websites and applications without putting patient data at risk.
The certification
None exists. 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.

Do you actually need HIPAA hosting?

Under 45 CFR § 164.308(b), the answer depends on one thing: whether your website touches patient information.

You need BAA-covered hosting if your site has

  • Patient intake or new-patient forms
  • Appointment booking or requests
  • A patient portal or login
  • Anything that ties a person to their health, including therapy contact forms

You do not need us if your site

  • Is marketing only, with a phone number and directions
  • Collects zero PHI, not even in a contact form

We will tell you so. Where the line falls is mapped in who needs HIPAA compliant hosting.

The five problems that bring healthcare teams here

Your website collects patient data on a host with no BAA

The most common call we get: a practice site built years ago on ordinary hosting, now taking intake forms and appointment requests. Under 45 CFR § 164.308(b), that is a violation before anything even goes wrong. We move the site to a hardened, BAA-covered environment, with migration handled by us and the BAA signed within 24 hours of signup.

HIPAA Compliant WordPress Hosting

Your healthcare product needs infrastructure a buyer will trust

Healthtech teams come to us mid-sales-cycle, when a hospital's security questionnaire arrives. Our single-tenant AWS environments come pre-hardened: encryption with managed keys, a web application firewall, intrusion detection, six-year audit logging, and encrypted cross-region backups, with a responsibility matrix you can hand your buyer.

Managed HIPAA Cloud Hosting

You run multiple locations and compliance drifts at every new site

Each office set up at a different time, to a different standard, and nobody can say which sites have encryption or whose logs go where. We put the whole network on one platform under one BAA, with role-based access that respects site boundaries. Every new location inherits the same safeguards on day one.

Healthcare Hosting

Your tracking scripts may be leaking patient data right now

The largest website-driven health data exposure in history came from advertising pixels, not hackers. Our one-time review audits every script, cookie, form, and third-party tool on your key pages and returns a findings report with risk levels and clear fixes. It pairs with our hosting but does not require it.

Client-Side Compliance Review

You have nobody to run any of this

The practice manager is not a sysadmin, the developer moved on, and compliance work that nobody owns does not get done. Every managed plan includes our 24/7 HIPAA-trained team, monitoring, patching, and a named point of contact, not a ticket queue lottery.

Managed plans

Your stack, covered: 16 platforms

The same hardened, BAA-covered tiers run every platform below. If your healthcare stack runs on it, there is a covered tier for it.

Encryption at rest and in transit AES-256 storage, TLS 1.2 or higher § 164.312(a), (e)
Web application firewall and intrusion detection Attacks filtered before they reach ePHI System protection
Six-year audit logging Reviewable records, retained to the documentation rule § 164.312(b), § 164.316
Tested encrypted backups Restores we have actually run § 164.308(a)(7)

The control-by-control version with configuration detail is our CFR-mapped security checklist.

HIPAA Hosting vs Standard Hosting

A $10 shared plan is not slightly less compliant; it is categorically different.

Most mainstream hosts 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.

How switching works, without a compliance gap

Fear of the move keeps teams on non-compliant hosting for years. The process is simpler than the fear: we sign the BAA first, your current site stays live while we migrate over encrypted channels, and coverage stays continuous the whole time, which is what keeps the switch compliant under 45 CFR § 164.308(b).

  1. Assess

    We map what your site collects, where PHI flows, and what the new environment needs.

  2. Build in parallel

    Your new environment goes up under a signed BAA while your current site stays live.

  3. Cut over

    We verify everything on the new environment, then cut over, usually with no visible downtime. You close the old account with written confirmation of disposal; BAA coverage overlaps, so there is no gap on cutover day.

Five Tests Any HIPAA Host Must Pass

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.

  1. BAA scope

    Does the Business Associate Agreement cover the hosting service you are actually buying, or only a narrow slice of it?

  2. Isolation

    Is your environment isolated from other customers, or is patient data sitting on crowded shared infrastructure?

  3. Encryption defaults

    Is encryption in transit and at rest on by default, or is it an upsell you have to remember to configure?

  4. Audit logging

    Are access and activity logs retained the way HIPAA expects, so you can prove what happened if anyone ever asks?

  5. Written proof

    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.

Frequently asked questions

What is HIPAA compliant hosting?
Hosting that can lawfully hold protected health information: the provider signs a Business Associate Agreement (45 CFR § 164.308(b)) and the environment carries the Security Rule safeguards, encryption, access controls, audit logging, and tested backups. Without the signed BAA, no amount of security features qualifies.
What is the difference between HIPAA-eligible and HIPAA-compliant hosting?
HIPAA-eligible means a provider will sign a BAA and lets you build a compliant system on its infrastructure, the way AWS does. HIPAA-compliant describes the finished system, configuration included. We deliver the hosting layer configured to the Security Rule; your policies, training, and risk analysis complete the picture.
How much does HIPAA compliant hosting cost?
Our plans are published: starting at $89 per month for an isolated, encrypted backup vault in your own AWS account, with fully managed tiers from $229 per month including migration. Across the market, managed plans run roughly $120 to $600 per month for practice-scale sites, based on published 2026 rates.
How fast can we be covered by a BAA?
We sign the BAA within 24 hours of signup, and always before any patient data moves to us. Coverage begins at signature, not at migration.
Do you migrate our existing site?
Yes, on managed plans migration is included and handled by us. Your current site stays live during the encrypted migration, cutover happens after verification, and the BAA overlap means there is no coverage gap at any point.
Does my website even need HIPAA hosting?
Only if it collects, stores, or displays patient data: intake forms, booking flows, portals, or contact forms that invite health details. A marketing-only site with a phone number does not, and we will tell you so. The full test is in our guide to who needs HIPAA-compliant hosting, or take the two-minute assessment.
