As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner (the highest AWS partnership status), Hostersi has also held the status of the first AWS reseller with headquarters in Poland since 2017.
We were the first in Poland to receive this status, which gives us a range of opportunities to offer comprehensive infrastructure management services to our customers in combination with the resale of AWS services as part of a single offer.
Amazon offers countless services. Our knowledge has been built up over many years and is based on the implementation of numerous systems and, more importantly, their ongoing maintenance, development and troubleshooting. In short, we learn every day and have hundreds of opportunities and occasions to do so. Effective use of AWS services without knowledge of their billing principles is simply costly for the end user. It takes years and a large infrastructure, as well as facing a number of problems, to manage services and accounts in AWS equally effectively on your own.
You still own your AWS account.
The most important information is that you still own your AWS account and can change your reseller or start paying yourself without asking for our permission (even without our knowledge) with just one click in the AWS panel.
As Hosters, we can only pay for your resources without access to services and data, or assist you in optimising costs and resources with such access.
That is why you can entrust us with the resale of Amazon Web Services without any concerns – you control your account to the same extent as if it were separate, and you also enjoy a number of benefits.
If you also allow us to review your infrastructure based on the AWS Well Architected Framework, you can be sure that you have a stable, efficient, secure and cost-effective infrastructure.
Please also note that if we are only a reseller for your services purchased from AWS, we will not have the slightest technical ability to access your data within AWS, which is also important from the point of view of legal security in terms of GDPR.
In any other situation, we will sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with you to the extent necessary – even for infrastructure review, whether one-off or recurring.
Hostersi is the first official AWS reseller headquarted in Poland.
By using the AWS resale service in Poland offered by Hostersi, you gain:
- all AWS services available at the same or lower price than when purchased directly from AWS,
- a discount on AWS services whose pricing is based on usage thresholds (volumes – e.g. the higher the transfer, the cheaper the price, and the price is calculated as the sum of the usage of all accounts under our care; there are many services billed in this way),
- the ability to set up and forward price alerts to Hosters' 24/7 support in order to prevent fraud, sudden changes in bills due to security breaches, unauthorised use of resources, and unknowing infrastructure operations that generate costs,
- mediation in support/contact with Amazon Web Services (the customer does not have to worry about anything, but you can also report problems yourself – you have access to Support directly in AWS),
- the possibility of receiving additional funds for infrastructure in AWS as part of the so-called PoC (Proof of Concept),
- the possibility of flexible billing in any currency: PLN, EUR, USD (bank transfer, deferred invoice, no credit card required),
- business support on more favourable terms than those offered by AWS to end customers,
- better understanding of the Amazon Web Services billing model,
- optimisation of cloud costs,
- care for our customers' cost limits in AWS, the existence of which can sometimes be painfully discovered,
- we have a personal data processing agreement – so we ensure compliance with the requirements of the UODO (Personal Data Protection Office),
- additional AWS support, provided for official partners.
Our services as AWS Commercial Reseller can be provided on several models:
We may not know anything about your infrastructure, we do not see your data – we only issue invoices in the selected currency, pay by postponed payment
We can see your bill, but not given – we can advise something, ask about the resources used and their sense
You can give us access to your account, and we will support you in the choice of load balancing solutions, and we will be able to answer any additional questions that bother you.
We also have a DPA signed with Amazon Web Services. We have been working with personal data since the introduction of a dedicated law in Poland. We also know how to prepare the infrastructure to be compatible with UODO, PCI DSS, and others, and just what to and how to encrypt, share and backup so that you simply do not worry about your resources and their security.
