Linux Server Setup & Management
The right server for the job, set up, secured and kept healthy. You own the server — I spec it, provision it on your behalf, and manage it so your sites stay fast and online.
- Why it matters
Hosting a fleet needs a properly tuned server
Cheap shared hosting falls over when you’re running lots of sites — slow, insecure, and a nightmare to manage. A dedicated or VPS box, set up and hardened properly, is what keeps a large portfolio fast and stable. I handle that side end to end so you don’t have to touch the command line.
- What’s included
Server work, handled end to end
Dedicated server setup
Spec’d and provisioned for the number of sites you run, then configured and secured.
VPS setup
Right-sized virtual private servers for smaller fleets or staging environments.
Plesk configuration
Plesk set up so sites, domains and email are manageable without the terminal.
Security hardening
Firewall, SSH, updates and sensible defaults so the box isn’t an open door.
Email & DNS
Mail, DNS and records configured so domains resolve and email actually delivers.
Ongoing management
Monitoring, updates and maintenance so the server stays healthy over time.
- How I work
Spec, secure, tune, maintain
Spec & procure
I recommend and procure the right server on your behalf — you own it, from Fasthosts or wherever suits.
Provision & secure
Ubuntu, Plesk, firewall and hardening set up so it’s ready and safe from day one.
Tune for volume
Caching, PHP, and resources tuned for the number of WordPress sites you’re hosting.
Maintain
Ongoing monitoring, updates and fixes so uptime and speed hold up.
- Platforms I work with
The stack I set up on
Each has its own dedicated page. The right choice depends on how many sites you’re running and your budget.

- FAQ
Questions & Answers
Do you own the servers?
Dedicated or VPS — which do I need?
Can you migrate my existing sites?
Yes — I migrate sites onto a new server with zero data loss and re-install SSL across every domain as part of the move.
Do I need to know Linux?
No. That’s the point — I handle the server side so you never need to touch the command line.
