Hosting & DevOps

Servers, deployments, backups, SSL, monitoring — the boring stuff that keeps the lights on, handled.

When you need this

  • Your site or app went down and nobody on staff knew where to start.
  • Backups exist… probably. You've never actually tested restoring one.
  • Deployments involve someone SSH-ing in and editing files. Sometimes things break.
  • Your SSL certificate expired without warning and customers saw a scary page.
  • You've outgrown shared hosting but don't have anyone to manage a real server.

What we do

  • Server provisioning (VPS, cloud, bare metal — Linux throughout)
  • Apache / nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL / PostgreSQL configuration and tuning
  • Auto-renewing SSL via Let's Encrypt (no more expired-cert surprises)
  • Scripted deployments via git webhooks — push to main, the server pulls
  • Automated backups with periodic restore tests (a backup is theory until you've restored from it)
  • Uptime monitoring, log aggregation, and alerting
  • Migrations between hosts without downtime
Examples from real engagements

What this looks like

Wholesale label manufacturer VPS migration

Moved a long-running operation off a fragile shared-hosting setup that was hanging weekly to a properly-configured VPS — daily file generation automated, monitoring in place, deployments scripted. Years in, infrastructure is something the client doesn't think about anymore.

BitBucket-driven deployment pipeline

Push to main, BitBucket fires a webhook, the server validates the signature, pulls, and rsyncs the right files into the right vhosts (each with its own .env). Used across our own production stack and several client setups.

SSL audit and rescue

Found and fixed a deployment script on a different project that was inadvertently wiping the .well-known directory used for ACME challenges — silently breaking renewals. Caught it before the cert lapsed.
