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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Questions & Answers

Do you own the servers?
No — you own the server. I spec it, procure it on your behalf, set it up and manage it. That keeps the infrastructure yours and the control in your hands.
Depends on how many sites you’re hosting and how heavy they are. I’ll recommend based on your fleet; a VPS suits smaller portfolios, dedicated suits larger ones.

Yes — I migrate sites onto a new server with zero data loss and re-install SSL across every domain as part of the move.

No. That’s the point — I handle the server side so you never need to touch the command line.
