FileMaker Hosting
And Licences
We provide our clients with a complete service including licensing and high quality hosting, so you have a single point of contact and the assurance of a fair price.
FileMaker offers flexible options for licensing and hosting, but the differences between the offerings can be subtle and technical, with serious implications for connectivity and backwards compatibility. We have worked with the FileMaker organisation (now Claris) and the FileMaker platform for many years, so can guide you through the technical considerations and advise on the real-life cost implications.
Finding the Right
FileMaker Hosting
Smart Wolf provides managed FileMaker hosting on dedicated cloud servers, giving our clients a single point of contact for their entire FileMaker environment — development, hosting, and support together. We handle server configuration, security, backups, and ongoing maintenance so you can focus on your business.
Our hosting runs on professional Linux-based infrastructure with high availability, SSL certificates, and regular security updates. We manage the full stack: FileMaker Server installation, configuration, performance tuning, and monitoring.
For clients with specific infrastructure requirements, we also assist with FileMaker Cloud setup or provide guidance on self-hosted environments. Whatever the approach, our goal is to ensure your FileMaker systems are fast, secure, and always available. Get in touch to discuss the right hosting setup for your needs.
Securing Your
FileMaker Licences
As official resellers of Claris licences, we work closely with Claris to ensure our clients get the most suitable licensing deals for their needs. We have built a strong relationship with Claris over many years and can answer any queries or questions you have regarding licences or infrastructure.
With the 2025 unified licensing model, a FileMaker licence now includes access to Claris Studio (for building web portals) and Claris Connect (for workflow automation) at no additional cost. We help you navigate these options and source the best available pricing from Claris for your specific needs.
Whether you need help with licensing, support, or development, please talk to us for expert, impartial advice on the best approach to meet your specific requirements.
