Server stack setup
Web server, runtime, database and caching configured for your specific site or app, not a generic template.
Overview
A properly configured server, and someone watching it
Spinning up a server takes minutes. Configuring it so it's secure, fast and recoverable takes judgment, and keeping it that way takes ongoing attention: operating-system and software updates, certificate renewals, disk space, failed services.
Tools & platforms we use
- Nginx
- Apache
- Ubuntu
- Docker
- AWS
- DigitalOcean
- Hetzner
What's included
Set up once, kept healthy after
Patching and updates
Operating system and software updates applied on a schedule, with a backup first and a rollback path.
Uptime monitoring and alerts
Checks on the site, the server and its disk, memory and certificates, with alerts routed to someone who acts on them.
Documentation
A written record of the setup and any changes, so the server never depends on one person's memory.
Questions
Common questions about server management
What does a management plan cover?
Routine patching, monitoring, certificate renewals, and fixing problems with the server itself. We agree the exact scope and response times in writing before you start.
Do you manage servers we already have?
Yes. We audit the existing setup first, then take it on as it is or recommend fixes before we do.
What if the server goes down out of hours?
Support hours and emergency response are part of the agreement we set up at the start, so you know what to expect before anything goes wrong.
Can you set up a server for a site you built?
Yes, and it's the most common case. We can deploy the site we built onto a server configured for it.
