Services

I help businesses and individuals run reliable, secure infrastructure — from a single VPS to multi-node Proxmox clusters. These are the areas clients bring me in for most often. If your situation doesn't fit neatly into one of these, get in touch and we'll figure it out.

Server Management & Administration

Ongoing administration for VPS, VDS, and dedicated bare-metal servers — patching, monitoring, backups, and support on a subscription basis.

Fixed-Scope Packages

If you already know what you need, these are pre-scoped engagements with a clear deliverable. Get in touch and I'll follow up with a quote based on your environment.

Cloud Cost Optimization Audit

A focused review of your AWS or cloud infrastructure to find what's costing you money without adding value — over-provisioned instances, idle resources, and missing autoscaling — with a prioritized action plan you can implement yourself or have me implement.

  • Full audit of compute, storage, and network spend across your account(s)
  • Identification of over-provisioned and idle resources
  • Right-sizing and reserved/spot instance recommendations
  • Autoscaling and lifecycle policy recommendations
  • Prioritized action plan with estimated savings for each change

VPS Hardening & Security Package

A one-time lockdown for a fresh or existing VPS or VDS — covering the baseline every production server should have before it goes live, or a retrofit for one that's been running without it.

  • OS hardening — disabling unused services, kernel and sysctl tuning
  • SSH key-based access, hardened SSH config, and brute-force protection (fail2ban)
  • Firewall rules (UFW/iptables/nftables) scoped to what the server actually needs
  • Automated backup setup with off-server retention
  • Baseline monitoring and alerting for resource and security events
  • Written summary of changes made and remaining recommendations

VMware to Proxmox Migration

For teams looking to move off VMware licensing onto a self-managed Proxmox VE cluster — covering the assessment, migration plan, and execution to bring your VMs across with minimal downtime.

  • Assessment of your current VMware environment and migration readiness
  • Proxmox VE cluster design — storage, networking, and HA layout
  • VM disk conversion and import from VMware to Proxmox
  • Staged migration plan with per-VM maintenance windows
  • Post-migration validation and rollback plan
