From bare VPS to production-ready infrastructure. I handle server setup, deployment pipelines, SSL, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance — so you can focus on building your product.
Everything your app needs to run reliably in production, configured correctly the first time.
Fresh server provisioning, SSH hardening, firewall config, fail2ban, automatic security updates, and user management. Your server locked down from day one.
Dockerize your app with production-grade Dockerfiles, docker-compose stacks, container networking, volume management, and registry setup.
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Bitbucket Pipelines — automated build, test, and deploy workflows that push to production on every merge.
Let's Encrypt auto-renewing SSL, Nginx/Caddy reverse proxy, custom domain DNS setup, and HTTPS enforcement across all your services.
Uptime monitoring, log aggregation, resource usage dashboards, and alert notifications via Slack/email when something needs attention.
Automated daily backups, off-site storage, database dumps, snapshot scheduling, and tested recovery procedures so you never lose data.
Here's exactly what's included when I take your app from a blank server to a live, production-ready deployment.
| Task | What's Included | Est. Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Server Provisioning | OS install, SSH keys, firewall (UFW/iptables), fail2ban, swap config, timezone | 1–2 hrs |
| Runtime & Dependencies | Node.js/.NET/Python/PHP, database (PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB), Redis, Nginx | 1–2 hrs |
| App Deployment | Clone repo, env config, build pipeline, process manager (PM2/systemd), reverse proxy | 2–3 hrs |
| Docker Setup | Dockerfile, docker-compose, multi-service orchestration, volumes, networking | 2–4 hrs |
| SSL & Domain | DNS records, Let's Encrypt, auto-renewal, HTTPS redirect, HSTS headers | 1 hr |
| CI/CD Pipeline | GitHub Actions / GitLab CI, auto-deploy on push, build caching, env secrets | 2–3 hrs |
| Monitoring & Backups | Uptime checks, resource alerts, automated DB backups, log rotation | 1–2 hrs |
| Documentation | Server access docs, deployment runbook, recovery procedures | 1 hr |
| Total (typical project) | 12–18 hrs |
Exact scope depends on your stack and requirements. I'll quote after a free 30-min discovery call.
Choose a one-time installation package or book hourly for custom work. No hidden fees.
Need ongoing maintenance? Add a $149/month retainer for priority support, monthly health checks, security patches, and backup verification.
DigitalOcean, Linode/Akamai, Hetzner, Vultr, AWS (EC2/Lightsail), Google Cloud, and any VPS provider of your choice.
Docker, Docker Compose, container registries (GHCR, Docker Hub), and basic Kubernetes for teams that need it.
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Bitbucket Pipelines, shell scripts, Ansible for multi-server provisioning.
Nginx, Caddy, Apache, Traefik. Load balancing, rate limiting, caching, gzip compression, and WebSocket support.
PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite. Replication, backup scheduling, and query optimization.
UptimeRobot, Grafana, Prometheus, Netdata, fail2ban, UFW/iptables, CrowdSec, Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare.
30-min free call. I learn your stack, requirements, and timeline.
I send a clear scope document with fixed price or hourly estimate within 24 hours.
I set up everything on your server. You get progress updates throughout.
Full documentation, walkthrough call, and 7–14 days of post-launch support included.
Yes — you purchase the VPS directly from your preferred provider (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, etc.) so you own the server and credentials. I'll recommend the right plan for your needs during our discovery call. Typical cost: $5–$24/month depending on your app.
Node.js, .NET, Python (Django/Flask/FastAPI), PHP (Laravel), Angular, React, Next.js, and static sites. If your stack runs on Linux, I can deploy it. I also work with WordPress/Ghost if needed.
The VPS Starter package is typically completed in 2–3 business days. The Production Pro package takes 4–7 business days depending on the number of services and complexity. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.
Every package includes post-launch support (7 days for Starter, 14 for Pro). During that window, I fix any infrastructure issues at no extra charge. After that, you can book hourly or add a monthly retainer for ongoing coverage.
Yes. I work with AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53), GCP, and Azure. Cloud-native setups with managed services are quoted hourly since they vary significantly in scope. The fixed-price packages are designed for VPS-based deployments.
For fixed-price packages: 50% upfront, 50% on completion. For hourly work: prepaid in 5-hour or 10-hour blocks. I accept PayPal, Wise, and bank transfer. You'll receive an invoice for every payment.
Stop wrestling with server configs at 2 AM. Tell me what you're building — I'll get it running in production, properly.
