We have audited HIPAA compliant hosting, at a reasonable price: https://www.atlantic.net/hipaa-compliant-hosting/

As a potential customer, I want to let you know that you really should fix all the typos and the like on your website. It really gives a poor first impression when I see things like:

    * 5 X VPN's (no apostrophe needed; what does this even mean?)
    * 1 Dedicated IP Addresse
    * Header/footer links open in a new tab.
    * Some numbers are listed as 800, some as 1-800.
    * Data center addresses have a comma at the end of the first line. That's not how US addresses are written.
    * Headquarters address is all on one line.
All of these indicate, in my mind, a lack of attention to detail. This is absolutely the last thing I'd want in my compliance provider. (More charitably, it probably indicates a lack of familiarity with either English or certain US conventions, which is I'd forgive in some vendors, but not when it comes to HIPAA compliance.)

Please don't go and fix the specific things I listed and think you're done. You need to significantly rethink the impression you're giving.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where I work at Catalyze, we offer a starting package beginning at $500/mo that includes one database container and one server. Or, if your application only required a secure backend, prices start as cheap as $100/month. We have a calculator here to compare prices: https://catalyze.io/platform-as-a-service/ We've been building applications with both startups and large healthcare organizations like the VA. I'd love to…

Hmmm... 8GB max? That doesn't cut it for the amount of claims data I generally deal with. Any rationale behind that limit?

That's the most that we have on the calculator, but we can help you with whatever your need. Email me (mark@catalyze.io) and we can work with you to meet your infrastructure needs.
