What we take care of
The day-to-day work of running a server, handled by people who do it every day.
Monitoring and alerts
We check your server and websites around the clock and get an alert the moment something goes wrong.
Security hardening
Firewall rules, safer SSH access, brute-force protection and malware scanning, set up and kept up to date.
Updates and patches
We keep the operating system, control panel and server software patched, carefully and without surprises.
Backups that work
We set up backups for your files and databases and check that they run, so a restore is there when you need it.
Performance tuning
Web server, PHP and database settings tuned for your sites, so pages stay fast as traffic grows.
Software setup
Control panels, web servers, PHP versions, SSL certificates and email, installed and configured for you.
We watch your server around the clock
Problems are easier to fix before your customers notice them.
- Uptime checks on your websites and the services behind them, such as the web server, database and email.
- Early warnings when CPU, memory or disk space start running high.
- Real people respond. We look into the alert, fix the cause and tell you what we did.
Locked down from day one
Most attacks on servers go after the same weak spots. We close them before anything else.
- A firewall that only lets in the traffic your server needs.
- Safer logins with SSH keys and protection against password-guessing attacks.
- Malware scanning and security patches applied as they're released.
Software we manage
The control panels, systems and server software most websites run on.
cPanel
Plesk

Migrations and upgrades, done carefully
Moving to a new server or upgrading an old one is where things usually break. We plan it so they don't.
- Everything comes across: websites, databases, email accounts and settings.
- Tested before the switch. We check your sites on the new server before pointing your domains to it.
- Timed around you, so any short interruption happens when your traffic is lowest.

Server Management Questions
- What is server management?
Server management means we take care of the technical running of your VPS or dedicated server for you. We monitor it, secure it, keep its software updated, check its backups and fix problems when they come up. You keep full ownership of the server and your data.
- What's included in each plan?
Every plan includes monitoring, security hardening and operating system and software updates. The higher plans add malware scanning, backup checks, performance tuning and priority support, and Enterprise covers up to three servers. Each plan above lists exactly what it includes.
- Can you manage a server that's hosted somewhere else?
Yes. We can manage servers hosted with us or with another provider, as long as we can connect to them securely and they run a supported Linux system, such as Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. If you're not sure, contact us before ordering.
- Do you need root access to my server?
Yes, to install updates, change security settings and fix problems we need administrator (root) access. We'll help you set up a separate user with an SSH key for us, so you never have to send your own password and can remove our access at any time.
- What happens when something goes wrong?
Our monitoring alerts us, and we start looking into it straight away. Once it's fixed, we let you know what happened and what we did. You can also open a support ticket at any time if you notice a problem yourself.
- Will you install software for me?
Yes. We can install and configure control panels such as cPanel and Plesk, web servers, PHP versions, databases, SSL certificates and email. Some software, such as cPanel or LiteSpeed, needs its own license, which is billed separately.
- Do you take backups of my server?
On plans with backup checks, we set up backups of your files and databases and make sure they keep running. We recommend keeping a copy away from the server itself, such as on separate backup storage, so you're covered even if the server is lost.
- Can I change plans or cancel?
Yes. You can upgrade from your client area at any time. To cancel, request cancellation from the service page in your client area, and the service stops at the end of the period you've paid for.
