Why host UniFi Network with CloudWLC
Your controller is its own server. Unrelated customers never share it, and you can add more controllers under the same account.
Manage all your sites and clients from a single controller at its own secure address, from wherever you are.
We handle controller updates, backups and monitoring. No hardware to fail on site, no VM to babysit.
Access points, switches and gateways stay where they are installed. Only the controller that manages them moves.
As many sites as you need within your device allowance, and a discount from your third controller.
Hosted by Optaro: more than 10,000 access points deployed for major hospitality venues worldwide.
Moving across
Devices reconnect to their new controller as part of the move, so plan each site for a quiet period. Hardware that runs its own built-in controller stays managed where it is.
Pick a plan and name your controller. It is built, secured with trusted HTTPS and checked automatically.
Take a backup or site export from your current UniFi controller. The portal shows you where.
Bring your sites into the hosted controller: sites, WLANs, networks and device records together.
Use UniFi's own site migration to point each site at the new controller, a site at a time.
