Five Managed Services

Reliable, privately-managed infrastructure designed to give small businesses and developers everything they need — without vendor lock-in or big-cloud complexity.

☁️
Core Hosting

OctusCloud VPS

Managed virtual private servers on dedicated bare metal infrastructure. You get dedicated VM resources with full root access — we handle the provisioning, monitoring, updates, and backups so you can focus on your applications.

  • Dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe SSD resources — no shared "noisy neighbours"
  • Full root access via SSH with your choice of Linux distribution
  • Virtualisation on dedicated bare metal hardware — not cloud-on-cloud
  • Managed operating system updates, security patches, and monitoring
  • Automated daily backups with configurable retention
  • UK and EU data centre locations
Infrastructure design and server procurement in progress
✉️
Email Delivery

OctusRelay

Managed SMTP relay service providing businesses with clean, dedicated IP addresses for email delivery. A personally managed alternative to Mailgun, SendGrid, or Amazon SES — with hands-on deliverability management and dedicated sending infrastructure.

  • Dedicated sending IP addresses — not shared with other senders
  • Full SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration and management
  • IP reputation monitoring and proactive deliverability management
  • Both SMTP and API integration options for your applications
  • Detailed sending analytics, bounce tracking, and delivery reporting
  • Reverse DNS properly configured on all sending IPs

📧
Business Email

OctusMail

Secure, self-hosted business email for organisations that want independence from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Fully managed, privacy-focused email hosting on infrastructure we control — not resold cloud services with someone else's terms.

  • Full IMAP and SMTP access — works with any email client
  • Webmail interface for browser-based access from anywhere
  • Advanced spam and phishing protection with customisable filters
  • DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configured out of the box for every domain
  • GDPR-compliant infrastructure — your data stays on our managed servers
  • Assisted migration from existing email providers
Platform architecture defined — server build underway

DNS Infrastructure

OctusDNS

Managed DNS hosting and domain management service for businesses needing reliable, configurable DNS infrastructure with expert support. We run authoritative DNS servers so your domains resolve quickly and reliably worldwide.

  • Authoritative DNS hosting on geographically distributed nameservers
  • Multi-domain management from a single interface
  • Full zone file management including A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, and PTR records
  • Reverse DNS (rDNS/PTR) configuration for mail servers and IP blocks
  • DNS health monitoring with alerting on resolution failures
  • Fast propagation and low TTL support for dynamic environments
DNS infrastructure operational — nameservers running
📞
Business Telephony

OctusVoice

Managed VoIP telephony for businesses — hosted PBX with SIP extensions, intelligent call routing, IVR menus, and international calling. A fully managed business phone system without the capital expenditure of on-premises hardware.

  • Hosted cloud PBX — multi-tenant architecture managed by our team
  • SIP extensions with softphone and desk phone support
  • Customisable IVR menus, call queues, and ring groups
  • International PSTN routing across multiple countries
  • Call recording, voicemail-to-email, and call analytics
  • SIP trunk configuration with failover and redundancy
Platform architecture designed — carrier evaluation underway

Why OctusCloud

We're building for businesses that want reliable infrastructure managed by people who understand it — not automated dashboards that leave you on your own when something breaks.

Privately Managed

Your infrastructure is managed by the engineers who built it. When you need help, you speak directly to the people who designed and maintain your systems — not a chatbot or a tiered support queue. We know your setup because we configured it.

No Vendor Lock-In

Standard protocols, open formats, full data portability. We use IMAP not proprietary sync, SIP not locked-in VoIP, and standard DNS zone files. Your data and configuration remain yours. Move in or out whenever you choose — we make it easy.

Bare Metal Performance

Virtualisation on dedicated bare metal servers — not VMs running on top of someone else's cloud VMs. No noisy neighbours, no shared CPU credits, no throttling surprises. Your resources are yours.

Security by Default

Every server is hardened from initial provisioning: SSH key authentication, layered firewall rules, intrusion detection and prevention, SSL/TLS certificates everywhere, and regular security patching. Security is built in, not bolted on.

UK-Based Company

Fine Content Ltd is incorporated in England and Wales (Company No. 16603901). Your relationship is with a UK company operating under UK data protection law. We're accountable to the same regulatory framework as your business.

Built for Small Business

Priced and designed for small businesses and developers who need professional-grade infrastructure without enterprise-scale budgets or complexity. No minimum commitments, no opaque pricing, no surprise bandwidth charges.

OctusCloud is built on battle-tested, enterprise-grade infrastructure managed with years of hands-on server administration experience.

IP address allocation strategy for client environments and OctusRelay sending IPs. Reverse DNS configuration, subnet planning, and firewall rule architecture for isolated client networks.

In Progress

Service Configuration & Security Baselines

Defining hardened server configurations, backup strategies, monitoring alerting, and security baselines for every OctusCloud service. Building provisioning templates and automation.

In Progress

Billing & Client Onboarding Systems

Building subscription billing, client management dashboards, and automated provisioning workflows so new customers can be onboarded efficiently and reliably.

Planned

Private Beta Programme

Invite-only beta for early customers to test services, provide feedback, and help us refine the platform before full public availability.

About OctusCloud

OctusCloud is a trading brand of Fine Content Ltd, a UK limited company (Company No. 16603901) based in Chelmsford, Essex. The company is founded and directed by Shepherd Nyakudya, drawing on years of hands-on experience in server administration, VoIP infrastructure, networking, database management, and systems automation.

We are building OctusCloud because small businesses and developers deserve managed infrastructure that is reliable, transparent, and run by people who genuinely understand the technology — not resold big-cloud resources with a control panel on top and no one to call when it goes wrong.

Every OctusCloud service is built on infrastructure we design, provision, harden, and manage directly. We work hands-on with the technology that powers your services, not abstraction layers. When you work with OctusCloud, you are working with the engineers who built and maintain your systems.

The company is currently at the pre-revenue, infrastructure build-out stage. We are actively designing systems, procuring hardware, and building the platform that will power OctusCloud services at launch.
