What Cloud Services for MSPs does

Cloud Services for MSPs is a US-based cloud infrastructure provider that sells exclusively to Managed Service Providers, positioning itself as an alternative to hyperscalers for partners who do not want their cloud provider competing for their end customers. The company was founded in 1986 as an MSP by Jeanne DeWitt and David Hood and re-launched as a dedicated cloud service provider for the MSP channel in 2017-2018, after the founders' prior MSP operation reached seven-figure monthly recurring revenue. The platform runs on three Tier 3 SOC2 compliant data centers in the New Jersey/New York area (284,000 sq ft), the California/Bay Area (1.1 million sq ft), and Dallas, TX (130,000 sq ft), supporting cross-data-center disaster recovery, immutable storage, 99.9% uptime SLAs, and 24/7 US-based support. The technology stack supports multiple operating systems, license flexibility (bring-your-own or rent), and firewall choice, with free migration services and white-label capability for MSP partners.

The business model is recurring-revenue driven, with flat-rate monthly subscription pricing, no contracts or quotas, and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Revenue streams include core cloud infrastructure subscriptions, professional services and configuration support (L3 engineering), and license-rental margin. The company reaches 225+ MSP partners primarily through content marketing (Cloud Academy, MSP To The Future podcast, webinars, video library, e-guides), direct sales outreach with discovery calls, and partner-led referrals. Certifications span SOC1, SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, and FISMA, enabling regulated workloads. Headcount is 11-50 employees, the firm is privately held and bootstrapped with no external funding, and headquarters are in Maumee, Ohio.
