services / devops & hosting

The server side, handled

Code is only half the job. We run the other half too: servers, pipelines, deployments, monitoring, backups and security — for the applications we build, and for the ones you already have. One team from the database to the DNS.

why it matters

Most outages aren't code bugs. They're infrastructure nobody owned.

The expired certificate. The server that ran out of disk at 2am. The deploy process that lives in one person's head. The backup that was never actually tested. Agencies that only write code leave this layer to chance — and it's the layer your uptime actually lives in.

We treat infrastructure as part of the build, not an afterthought: version-controlled, documented, monitored, and boring in the best possible way.

what we do

Our DevOps services

Managed hosting

Fully managed hosting for Drupal, WordPress, Laravel and Node applications — provisioned, patched, monitored and backed up, on infrastructure sized to your traffic, not a one-size shared box.

managed hosting →

CI/CD pipelines

Automated testing and deployment: push to Git, tests run, staging updates, production deploys with one click and rolls back with another. No more FTP-and-pray.

ci/cd pipelines →

Cloud infrastructure

Architecture and management on AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner and UK/EU providers — chosen on cost and data-residency merit, not partner kickbacks. Right-sized, so you're not funding idle servers.

Server management & hardening

Linux administration, OS and PHP/Node version upgrades, firewall and access hardening, SSL automation — the routine discipline that prevents the 2am phone call.

server management →

Monitoring, backups & recovery

Uptime and error monitoring with real alerting, off-site backups on schedule — and recovery drills, because a backup you've never restored is a hope, not a plan.

monitoring & backups →

Performance & scaling

Caching layers, CDN setup, database tuning, load handling for launches and campaigns — measured work against real traffic, not guesswork.

performance & scaling →

Migrations & rescues

Moving off a failing host, out of an expensive contract, or away from the server nobody has credentials for. Planned cutovers with DNS strategy and rollback — downtime measured in minutes.

Platform expertise

We also work with (and audit bills for) managed platforms — Acquia, Platform.sh, Pantheon, Laravel Forge, Vercel, Netlify — and we'll tell you honestly when one of those beats a server we'd manage.

how it fits

Standalone, or built into everything else

  • With our builds — every project we deliver ships with pipelines, staging and monitoring as standard. Infrastructure isn't a line-item surprise at the end.
  • With our care plans — hosting and infrastructure management bundle into the same monthly fee as your updates and support. One invoice, one responsible team.
  • Standalone — keep your current developers and hand us just the ops: hosting, pipelines, monitoring and the on-call worry.
  • For agencies — white-label infrastructure across your client portfolio, reported under your brand.

Common questions

What does managed hosting cost?

From £25/month for a WordPress site and £45/month for Drupal within our care plans; standalone application hosting is quoted on infrastructure needs — typically £75–£300/month for business applications including management, monitoring and backups.

Can you take over servers another team set up?

Yes — it starts with an infrastructure audit: what's running, what's exposed, what isn't backed up. You get the findings in plain English whether or not we take it on.

Do we have to move to your hosting?

No. We manage infrastructure in your accounts (AWS, DigitalOcean, wherever) just as happily — which also means you're never locked in. Everything is documented and yours.

What about 24/7 support?

Monitoring and alerting run around the clock; our distributed team means coverage across time zones that a single-office agency can't match. Formal response SLAs are set per plan — ask, and we'll be straight about what we can commit to.
