VPS Setup and Server Management
We set up, move and look after the servers your website and business software run on: secured, monitored and backed up, with notes on how everything works.

Who This Is For
Most small businesses don’t think about their server until something goes wrong. These are the moments people usually call us.
You’re Moving Off Shared Hosting
Your website or app has outgrown cheap shared hosting, and you need a proper server without hiring someone full-time to run it.
The Person Who Set It Up Has Left
Nobody remembers the passwords, what’s installed, or why. Every change feels like it might break something.
Your App Feels Slow for No Clear Reason
Pages take too long, and nobody knows whether it’s the code, the database or the server’s location.
You Found Out About Downtime From a Customer
Your site was down for hours before anyone on your team noticed.
You’re Not Sure Your Backups Work
There may be backups somewhere, but nobody has checked when they last ran or tried restoring one.
You’re Launching Something New
A new CRM, website or app needs somewhere to live, and you’d rather set it up properly from the first day than fix it after the launch.
What Goes Wrong with a Neglected Server
Servers rarely fail all at once. They drift, until one day a customer is the one who tells you your site is down.
You Hear About Downtime From Customers
Nobody is watching the site, so an outage lasts until someone happens to notice.
Nobody Remembers How It Was Set Up
The person who configured the server has moved on, and every change feels risky.
The App Is Slow for No Clear Reason
Sometimes the server is simply far from your users or your database. We’ve moved a server to the right region and seen the difference.
Backups Exist Only in Theory
There may be a backup somewhere, but nobody knows when it last ran or where it is.
Default Security Settings
Password logins, open ports and missed updates make an easy target for automated attacks.
Certificates Expire Without Warning
An SSL certificate that was set up by hand runs out, browsers start showing a security warning, and visitors turn away before anyone on your team notices.
What We Set Up and Look After
A server that’s secure by default, watched around the clock and backed up somewhere else.
VPS Setup
Choosing a suitable server and region for your users, then installing what your applications need.
Migration
Moving websites and apps from an old host or server, planned so the switch-over is short and tested.
Security Hardening
Key-based logins, a firewall with only the needed ports open, and regular updates.
Reverse Proxy and SSL
A web server in front of your applications, with HTTPS certificates that renew automatically.
Login Rate Limiting
Limits on repeated login attempts in the applications we build, to slow down password guessing.
Separate Keys for Each Integration
Each outside system that talks to your server gets its own key, so one can be revoked without touching the rest.
Choosing the Right Region
A server close to your users and your database keeps pages quick. We pick the region with your audience in mind, and move it if that changes.
Clean Domain and Email Records
DNS records checked and tidied, so your site, subdomains and any verification records point where they should.
Uptime Monitoring
Regular checks that your site responds, with an alert when it doesn’t.
Automatic Backups
Scheduled backups to Google Drive, kept off the server so one failure can’t take both.
Written Notes
How the server is set up and what runs on it, so you’re never dependent on one person’s memory.
How a Server Project Runs
Nothing is switched over until the new setup has been tested. The written plan sets out the dates.
Discovery
What runs where today, how much traffic you get, and what can’t go down.
Plan Sign-Off
A written plan covering the server, security, backups and migration steps.
Build
The new server set up and hardened alongside the old one.
Testing
Your applications tested on the new server before any traffic moves.
Launch
A planned switch-over, with the old setup kept available until the new one is confirmed.
Training
Training as agreed for your team: the notes, the monitoring and the backups.
Support
A maintenance plan can cover monitoring, updates and help.
What You Get at Handover
You should be able to answer “what runs on our server, and is it safe?” without calling anyone.
Server Accounts
Server and hosting accounts, set up in your name or managed by us, as agreed for your project, with access shared the way we agree.
A Setup Document
What’s installed, which ports are open and why, and how each application starts.
Backup Details
When backups run, where they are kept, and how a restore works.
Monitoring Access
Where uptime checks are shown, and who gets an alert when something fails.
SSL and Domain Notes
Which domains point where, and how certificates renew.
Training As Agreed
Training as agreed for your team, covering all of the above for whoever looks after IT on your side.
Support and Maintenance After Launch
A server needs regular attention: security updates, certificate renewals, disk space, backups that keep running. A maintenance plan can make those someone’s job, instead of something everyone assumes someone else is doing.
It also means changes are made by someone who knows the setup. Adding a new site, moving to a bigger server or changing a domain becomes a planned task with notes, not an experiment.
When monitoring raises an alert, the person who set up the server is the one who looks at it.
What a Plan Can Cover
- Security updates for the server
- Checking backups keep running
- Responding to uptime alerts
- Small changes as your applications grow
- Help when you add a new app or domain
What your plan includes is written down before you sign it.
Relevant Work
Server case studies will appear here once each client has approved them in writing.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Which Hosting Providers Do You Work With?
Mainstream VPS providers and platforms like Vercel. We help you choose based on where your users are and what your applications need.
Can You Move Our Existing Website or App?
Yes. We plan the migration, test the new server alongside the old one, and keep the old setup available until the switch is confirmed.
Will There Be Downtime During the Move?
We plan the switch-over to keep any interruption short, usually at a quiet time, and test everything before traffic moves.
Where Are Backups Stored?
Scheduled backups are copied to Google Drive, away from the server itself.
What Happens If the Site Goes Down?
Uptime monitoring raises an alert. How quickly we respond is agreed in your maintenance plan.
Is the Server in Our Name?
It can be. Server and hosting accounts are set up in your name or managed by us, as agreed for your project.
Do You Manage Email Hosting?
Our focus is the servers your website and business software run on. If you need email set up too, mention it on the first call.
Can You Look at Our Current Server First?
Yes. A review of your current setup is often the best first step, and it tells you what’s worth fixing.
Do You Set Up Servers for Apps You Didn’t Build?
Often, yes, as long as we can understand how the app runs. We’ll look at it on the first call and tell you honestly if it’s outside what we can support.
How Is It Priced?
It depends on what you run and how much looking after it needs. We quote after the free consultation.
What to Bring to the First Call
None of this is required. But the more of it you can share, the more specific our advice on the call can be.
- Where your website and apps are hosted today, and who has access.
- What runs on the server: websites, a CRM, databases, background jobs.
- Any recent problems, such as downtime, slowness or security warnings.
- Where backups are kept today, if you know.
- Which domains and subdomains you use, and where they point.
Tell Us What Your Server Runs Today.
The first call is free. We’ll point out the biggest risk first.
