Someone should own your server. Properly.
Most compromised servers weren't cleverly hacked — they were unpatched, loosely configured, and nobody's job. We take ownership of Linux servers: patched on schedule, hardened deliberately, upgraded before end-of-life, and documented so nothing depends on memory.
What ownership includes
Patching on schedule
OS and package security updates applied routinely, with reboots planned rather than feared — the single highest-value security habit a server can have.
Version lifecycle management
PHP, Node, databases and distributions upgraded before end-of-life — staged and tested, so "we're three major versions behind" never becomes your emergency.
Access hardening
Key-only SSH, least-privilege accounts, firewalls that default to closed, fail2ban, and departed-staff access actually revoked. The basics, done consistently.
SSL automation
Certificates issued, renewed and monitored automatically — expiry-day outages retired permanently.
Configuration as code
Server setup captured in version control, not folklore — rebuildable from scratch, auditable, and transparent to your team.
An audit trail
What changed, when, why — logged and reported monthly. Useful for compliance; invaluable the day something needs diagnosing.
Common questions
Our server was set up years ago by someone who left. Where do you start?
With a fixed-price health check: what's running, what's exposed, what's out of date. You get the findings in plain English before deciding anything — the same audit-first pattern we use everywhere.
Do you replace our hosting or work on it?
We manage servers wherever they live — your VPS, your cloud account, your data-centre box. Moving to our managed hosting is an option, never a requirement.
What does management cost?
Typically £75–£250/month per server depending on what it runs, including patching, monitoring and the monthly report. The initial health check is fixed-price from £350, credited if you proceed.
When was your server last patched?
If you're not sure, that's the answer. Tell us what you're running and we'll take an honest look.
