Cloud Hosting for Startups
Powered by AWS, Managed by Habitat3

At Habitat3, we understand the pressure bootstrapped startups face: small teams, tight budgets, and the need to move fast while keeping costs down.
That’s why we help founders design and build secure, scalable AWS environments that are cost-efficient and tailored for early-stage businesses — so they can launch quickly, grow confidently, and avoid over-engineering from day one.
Why AWS makes sense for bootstrapped startups?
AWS gives startups world-class infrastructure without the need for heavy upfront investment in hardware or big teams to manage it.
1. Foundation Built Right – AWS Landing Zone
For every new client or project, we create a secure and scalable AWS Landing Zone that sets the stage for reliable performance and long-term growth.
2. Free Cloud Architecture DesignWe’ll work with you to design the right cloud architecture for each project — completely free. Regardless of the type of application you’re building, we’ll tailor the cloud architecture to unpin your app.
3. Build, Migrate, Launch
We handle the full build and migration — lifting the burden from your team. From compute, databases and CICD, we’ll make sure everything runs smoothly on AWS.
4. Managed Cloud Services
Once live, we keep your AWS environment up to date, secure, and optimised. You stay focused on digital strategy while we handle monitoring, patches, cost control, and uptime.
