Hostea provides [dedicated managed Gitea hosting](https://hosteadashboard.hostea.org/dash/instance/new/), including [Woodpecker CI](https://woodpecker-ci.org/). Security updates are applied as soon as they are available and carefully tested. Each Gitea instance is monitored 24/7 and has backups.
You can rely on Hostea if you are an individual software developer who need their own Gitea instance with CI but can't be bothered with installation and maintenance. You want the freedom to download a backup and seamlessly self-host it whenever you decide: no strings attached.
If you are into trouble and need assistance with a Gitea instance not hosted at Hostea, you [can ask for help at the Hostea clinic](/gitea-clinic/). The doctors have developped a unique expertise and are well equiped to help you recover and upgrade.
Do you already have an expertise running Gitea? You are welcome to join the [Hostea collective](https://forum.hostea.org/t/a-guide-to-hostea-governance/57), get in touch [in the forum](https://forum.hostea.org/c/site-feedback/2) or [the chat](https://matrix.to/#/#hostea:matrix.batsense.net).
