We host it
Your Domino servers run in our UK data centres on infrastructure we manage end to end: hardware, operating system, Domino, backups and 24/7 monitoring.
Managed HCL Domino hosting, management and upgrades
Over 20 years looking after Domino for the UK public sector and regulated businesses. UK data centres, ISO 27001-certified, engineers who know Domino inside out.
Domino 9
Standard support ended in June 2024. HCL offers paid extended support until June 2030, so you're paying more to stand still. Moving to 14.5 is an in-family upgrade we plan in phases with a rollback at every step.
Domino 10
Standard support ended in June 2024. HCL offers paid extended support until June 2030, so you're paying more to stand still. Moving to 14.5 is an in-family upgrade we plan in phases with a rollback at every step.
Domino 11
Standard support ended in June 2025, with paid extended support to June 2030. Now is the time to plan the move to 14.5, while it's a choice and not a deadline.
Domino 12
Still supported, but two major releases behind. A planned upgrade to 14.5 keeps you ahead of the next end-of-support date and brings Domino IQ.
Domino 14
Supported and close to current. The step to 14.5 is small and brings Domino IQ for private AI on your own data.
Domino 14.5
You're on the current release. We keep it that way: patched, monitored and backed up, in our data centres or yours.
Not sure which version?

How we look after your Domino estate
You host it, we run it
Keep Domino on your own servers or in your own cloud. We connect securely, monitor it around the clock and manage it remotely as if we were on site.
We bring it up to date
Planned upgrades from Domino 9, 10 and 11 to 14.5, browser access with HCL Nomad, and licence renewals as an HCL Business Partner.
Also from Blue Sky
Cybersecurity monitoring
Continuous scanning of everything you expose to the internet, with a plain-English monthly report aligned to Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.
Consulting
Domino modernisation, Cyber Essentials gap analysis and web performance testing from people who run these systems every day.
Hosted in a former RAF radar bunker
Your Domino servers sit underground, in a Cold War bunker built in the 1950s to track incoming aircraft. Reinforced concrete, double outer walls and no windows. Today it's an ISO 27001-certified UK data centre, with a second site in a former US Air Force command centre.
Nothing leaves the UK, and very little could get in.
