A real dedicated IP
Your controller answers on its own public IPv4 with its own reverse DNS. Clean for firewall allowlisting, stable for device adoption, and yours alone.

Layer 1 is the part
nobody else owns.
Every other hosted controller runs on someone else's cloud. We run on hardware we own, in racks we control — so every customer gets a genuinely dedicated public IP, not a slice of a shared pool.
$ lvl1 provision --tier dedicated --fqdn acme.unifi.lvl1.host

01 / Platform
Built like infrastructure, not a reseller panel.
Controllers run in isolated containers on dedicated bare metal behind an enterprise firewall. Provisioning is fully automated — IP allocation, DNS, certificates and the controller itself come up in a single step.
Addressing
Lifecycle
Upgrade and roll back
Pin any controller version. Move forward, or roll straight back if a release misbehaves — your sites, devices and database come through untouched.
Recovery
Nightly backups
Full nightly snapshots plus the controller's own automatic backups, restorable from the panel without opening a ticket.
Identity
Your own domain
Run on you.unifi.lvl1.host or bring your own hostname. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically.
Resilience
Always-on DDoS filtering
Every address sits behind carrier-grade mitigation at the network edge — on by default, at no extra cost.
Isolation
One tenant, one container
Customers never share a controller, a database, or an address with our own infrastructure. Noisy neighbours aren't a category of problem here.
02 / Controllers
Bring the whole estate.
One account, every vendor you manage — so an MSP running mixed sites doesn't need three billing relationships.
UniFi Network
LiveUbiquiti's controller, any version you choose, with rollback. Devices adopt over a stable hostname that survives plan changes.
Omada
ShortlyTP-Link's SDN controller with the same version control, backups and dedicated addressing on omada.lvl1.host.
UISP
ShortlyUbiquiti's ISP platform for airMAX and fibre estates, on uisp.lvl1.host.

Where the difference actually shows up.
Most hosted controllers are a thin layer over a public cloud VPS. That's a fine business — it just means the things below aren't theirs to offer.
| LVL1 | Cloud-reseller hosts | Self-hosted | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated public IP per customer | Included | Shared pool | Your own |
| Version rollback with data intact | Yes | Rarely | Manual |
| Managed backups & restore | Yes | Yes | You build it |
| Hardware owned by the provider | Yes | Rented VPS | Yours |
| Free tier to evaluate | Yes | Trial only | — |
| You maintain the OS | Never | Never | Always |
Put one controller on it tonight.
The free tier takes about a minute and doesn't ask for a card. Move it to a dedicated address whenever the client needs one.
