HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) requires businesses that process, store, or transmit electronic protected health information (ePHI or PHI) to comply with strict administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.

In order to ensure our clients are protected, we have crafted hosting solutions ready for HIPAA-regulated organizations, making sure technical controls, backup management, safeguards, and physical security policies are in place, all to verify that your data is secured to industry standards.

HIPAA hosting FAQ

HIPAA hosting refers to a hosting solution that is audited to satisfy the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HIPAA hosting does not take care of HIPAA compliance entirely—it means that a provider's data center and server solution satisfies the infrastructure requirements of a HIPAA audit.

HIPAA audited hosting refers to hosting services that have undergone a thorough third-party audit to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This type of hosting is designed to empower healthcare organizations and their business associates to safeguard protected sensitive health information and comply with HIPAA regulations.

Yes. We provide signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for all HIPAA-ready hosting environments. This contract states that Liquid Web audits and implements the required physical and digital safeguards and formally establishes the shared responsibility of an audit-ready environment.

For more information, refer to this article.

Anyone who collects, transmits, or creates electronic protected health information (ePHI) is considered a covered entity and must be HIPAA compliant. That includes not only health care providers and health insurance providers, but also other entities such as IT providers, consultants, and cloud storage providers who store, process, or otherwise may have access to their data.

Unlike a standalone dedicated server, hosting compliant with HIPAA infrastructure requirements can include additional components like a hardware firewall, locked server cabinets, and customized software. This elevated protection ensures your organization remains secure and your patient data stays private. Liquid Web’s dedicated server HIPAA solutions are billed monthly, starting at $229/mo (Linux) and $271/mo (Windows).

Select Liquid Web data centers are equipped with the necessary physical and environmental safeguards required by HIPAA, such as secure access controls, surveillance, and robust disaster recovery solutions

While our data centers meet HIPAA standards, customers are responsible for ensuring that applications and operational processes also adhere to HIPAA compliance requirements.

Liquid Web offers ePHI hosting on infrastructure that has been audited for HIPAA standards. However, if you’re handling ePHI on your server, it’s your responsibility to ensure that the information is properly encrypted to meet HIPAA requirements. Select Liquid Web products offer data encryption at rest. Contact us to learn more.

A HIPAA private cloud is a single-tenant, private hosting environment engineered to isolate sensitive healthcare data and mission-critical workflows. With HIPAA cloud, healthcare organizations gain the agility of cloud computing alongside the granular control required for HIPAA. Private hosting allows leadership to focus on patient care with the total confidence that systems surrounding their clinical core are housed in an environment designed for healthcare.

Audits require clear, documented proof of who accessed what data and when. With dedicated infrastructure, every log entry relates strictly to your organization. This clarity can lower risk and provides reviewers with a transparent view of your data integrity protocols.
