VPS administration
Day-to-day administration of virtual private servers: access, packages, services, capacity, logs and the configuration that keeps the environment predictable.
03 Service / Managed Infrastructure
Look after the infrastructure, not just the application.
We administer Linux servers, VPS environments, web servers, PHP runtimes, databases, backups and deployments. You keep your own hosting provider and pay them directly; we provide the technical management.

03 / MANAGED INFRASTRUCTURE
Applications depend on the environment underneath them: operating system updates, web server configuration, PHP versions, database maintenance, certificates, backups and a deployment process that can be repeated.
We manage that layer for businesses that already have infrastructure, or are setting it up with a provider of their choice. We do not sell hosting capacity or VPS subscriptions. You contract with the provider directly; we provide the administration and management.
Work can be a one-off migration or hardening project, or an ongoing administration arrangement with monitoring, patching, backup checks and support.
Fig. 03 — A typical structure for this work. Each engagement is shaped to its context.
What the work can include.
A capability list, not a fixed package. We agree the scope together once the problem is clear.
Linux server management
Operating system maintenance, user and permission review, service configuration and the routine work that keeps a server supportable.
Security hardening and updates
Patch management, firewall and SSH configuration, exposed-service review and practical hardening. Security is treated as an ongoing operational task, not a one-off checklist.
Web server, PHP and database configuration
Configuration of the web server, PHP runtime and database services for the application, including version changes and compatibility checks.
Infrastructure monitoring
Checks for availability, disk capacity, service health and other operational signals, with alerts routed to someone who can investigate.
Backup and recovery
Backup configuration, retention and restore checks. A backup is only useful if it can be restored and the recovery process is understood.
Deployment and environment management
Repeatable releases, environment configuration and the separation between development, staging and production where the project justifies it.
Migrations and modernisation
Moving an application between servers or providers, upgrading runtimes, or replacing an ageing environment without unnecessary downtime.
