Recommended Hosting Options for Small Practices (1–5 Doctors)

Here are some hosts/vendors for OpenEMR for a small US-based medical office:

Provider Description / Strengths Approximate Cost & Fit for Small Practice
MyOEMR Fully managed OpenEMR hosting, optimized for medical practices. They explicitly have a plan “Essential” for small practices. (myoemr.com) Their Essential plan is $200/month, includes 50 GB SSD, daily backups, 5 user licenses, and a reasonable performance profile for a small office. (myoemr.com)
Qiaben Health HIPAA-ready cloud hosting + OpenEMR implementation + support + maintenance. (qiaben.com) Starts at $99/month for a fully managed OpenEMR instance. (qiaben.com) Very good for low overhead and letting experts run the infrastructure.
SolaDrive More “traditional” web hosting / VPS provider that offers OpenEMR-optimized hosting + 1-click installer + managed backups & security. (SolaDrive) They have a plan for OpenEMR for $55/month, with 4 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, 100GB NVMe — good if you want good performance but still relatively low cost. (SolaDrive)
VivoSyncPro Specifically geared toward clinics / medical practices: secure cloud-based OpenEMR, role-based access, telehealth support, multi-facility if needed. (vivosyncpro.com) Their OpenEMR hosting is listed from $50 up (depending on package) — very flexible. (vivosyncpro.com)
CapMinds More than just hosting — they do OpenEMR implementation, ongoing support, billing, customization, and set up for small offices. (CapMinds –) Pricing is not super simple per plan, but they do “solo practice / small office” deployments. Their model is more service + hosting + customization rather than just platform rent.
Key Things to Verify with Any Host
  1. HIPAA / BAA: Make sure they are willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement if you are dealing with PHI.
  2. Backups: Ask how often backups are taken, where they are stored, and how hard it is to restore.
  3. Security: Do they support SSL/TLS, firewalls, intrusion detection, and strong access controls?
  4. Scaling: If you grow (more providers, more patients), how easy / costly is it to scale up?
  5. Support: What is their support model (phone, email, SLA)? For a medical office, downtime is more serious.

20 HIPAA-capable hosting providers to contact

(will often sign BAAs)

Major cloud platforms (very flexible; good for 1–5 doctors if managed)
  1. Amazon Web Services (AWS) — will sign a BAA for HIPAA-eligible services. You can run OpenEMR (AWS Marketplace OpenEMR images) or WordPress on EC2/RDS/Lightsail. Good fit if you hire an IT person or managed service.
  2. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — will sign a BAA for supported services; can host OpenEMR (VMs) or WordPress (Compute Engine / Cloud SQL). Good if you want robust cloud features.
  3. Microsoft Azure — BAA available for many services; supports OpenEMR on VMs and WordPress on App Service or VMs. Good enterprise-grade option.
HIPAA-specialist / compliant hosting vendors (they focus on healthcare)
  1. Atlantic.Net — markets HIPAA hosting and will sign a BAA; supports managed VPS/Cloud where you can install OpenEMR / WordPress. Good mid-price option for small practices.
  2. Liquid Web — offers HIPAA-capable managed hosting and will discuss BAAs; supports LAMP/LEMP, WordPress, and dedicated VMs for OpenEMR.
  3. Rackspace — enterprise managed cloud (offers HIPAA services / BAAs for defined products). Good when you want 24/7 managed support.
  4. ClearDATA — healthcare-focused cloud operations & compliance (BAA oriented). Good for regulated apps and strong compliance tooling.
  5. MedStack — compliance platform built for digital health that can host and help you operate HIPAA workloads (BAAs & compliance tooling).
  6. HIPAA Vault — focused on HIPAA-compliant WordPress and web apps; will sign BAAs and offers managed WordPress for healthcare.
OpenEMR / healthcare-oriented managed hosts (experience with OpenEMR; usually sign BAAs)
  1. CapMinds — OpenEMR implementation + managed hosting for healthcare practices (will negotiate BAA). (CapMinds is a known OpenEMR partner.)
  2. Qiaben / Qiaben Health — OpenEMR hosting + support; advertises HIPAA-ready solutions (contact for BAA & plans).
  3. MyOEMR — specialized OpenEMR hosting / managed service (designed for practices). Contact them about BAA and small-practice plans.

  5. VairCloud / Vaircloud — advertises OpenEMR hosting and security features — contact for BAA and small practice plans.
  6. VivoSyncPro (or similar regional OpenEMR hosts) — marketed to clinics for OpenEMR hosting, telehealth and practice workflows — verify BAA.
  7. AcuMedsoft — healthcare IT + OpenEMR hosting and consulting; discuss BAA for PHI hosting.
Other HIPAA-friendly / compliance platforms and managed vendors
  1. TrueVault — secure PHI storage API and compliance platform (provides BAAs for customers who use their storage). Good for storing structured PHI/attachments (needs dev work).
  2. Paubox / Paubox Email & Paubox APIs — mostly email/secure messaging and PHI tools but they offer HIPAA solutions and BAAs (useful adjunct to hosting).
  3. HealthTech International / similar MSPs — many regional healthcare MSPs will provide HIPAA hosting + BAAs and handle OpenEMR installs (search locally and vet).
  4. Managed cloud agencies that resell/configure AWS/GCP with HIPAA packages — (examples: CapMinds above, other consultancies). They build the environment on AWS/Azure/GCP and sign BAAs for their service.

Observations & Implications
Very few of the specialized / healthcare-compliance hosts have public, low-tier fixed HIPAA plan pricing. Many of them require a custom quote.
