HIPAA Compliant Hosting

A healthcare-focused hosting company built around the responsibility behind the infrastructure—and the people depending on it.

CHAPTER 01

Behind the website, someone is depending on it.

Healthcare teams need websites and applications that they can operate responsibly. The infrastructure underneath them is part of that job: who can access it, how it is maintained, where information goes, and what happens when something needs attention.

HIPAA Compliant Hosting is the business Chrissi and I built around that responsibility. It provides managed AWS hosting for healthcare workloads, with services and support shaped around the requirements of the environment. The work begins with understanding what the application needs and agreeing on the responsibilities around it.

CHAPTER 02

A specific problem deserved a focused business.

We founded HIPAA Compliant Hosting in 2022, drawing on our work in hosting and web development. Healthcare made the question more specific: how do you give a practice or technical team a hosting partner that understands the environment they are working in?

That focus is the reason for a separate company. Infrastructure decisions have consequences for the people using the application and the people whose information it handles. I wanted the operating work, the support, and the explanation of the service to begin with that context.

Why the website itself is part of the conversation

A hosting environment is only one part of a working website. Forms, browser scripts, and third-party integrations also affect how information moves.

That is why HCH offers a separate client-side compliance review. It examines the agreed pages and integrations and produces findings and recommended next steps. Hosting, assessment, and remediation have their own scopes; the service should make those boundaries clear.

CHAPTER 03

Make the operating work visible.

  1. THE ENVIRONMENT

    Start with the workload.

    A practice website and a custom healthcare application can need different infrastructure. The software, usage, and operating requirements shape the discussion.

  2. THE RELATIONSHIP

    Put responsibilities into words.

    The service scope, support boundaries, and Business Associate Agreement belong in the conversation before a team makes its hosting decision.

  3. THE EVERYDAY WORK

    Treat maintenance as part of the product.

    Monitoring, updates, backups, and support are operating work. The people doing that work matter as much as the resources on a specification sheet.

CHAPTER 04

More clarity around a complex layer.

The direction is to make healthcare infrastructure easier to evaluate and operate: clearer platform choices, useful documentation, and practical conversations with the people responsible for the systems.

I also want the education around the service to keep getting better. Agencies and healthcare teams should have a clearer way to ask questions, understand the boundaries of a proposed setup, and work out what they actually need. The hosting layer is our responsibility to explain; an organization’s wider compliance work extends beyond it.

CHAPTER 05

Start with the question you have.
