I will set up and manage your cloud VPS server — NVMe SSD, 99.9% uptime

Hand your cloud VPS to someone who lives in the terminal. I provision, harden, and manage a fast NVMe SSD server tuned for 99.9% uptime — so you ship instead of babysitting ssh.

What you get

A production-ready Linux VPS, configured end to end and handed over with credentials, docs, and a server you can actually trust. Concretely:

• Full provisioning on the provider of your choice (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Vultr, AWS Lightsail, or your existing account) — I work inside your account so you own everything.
• NVMe SSD storage selected and verified for real disk throughput, not just a checkbox spec.
• OS install + base setup — Ubuntu LTS, Debian, or your preferred distro, fully updated.
• Security hardening — non-root sudo user, SSH key-only login, disabled password/root auth, UFW/iptables firewall, and Fail2ban against brute-force attempts.
• Web stack on request — Nginx or Caddy, free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal, reverse proxy, and HTTP/2.
• Runtime of your choice — Node.js, Python, PHP, Docker + Docker Compose, or a database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB).
• Automated backups and a documented restore path, plus swap and kernel tuning for small instances.
• Uptime monitoring targeting 99.9% availability, with alerts so problems surface before your users find them.
• Clear handover doc — every credential, path, and command you'll need, in plain English.

Plans

Tier	What's included
Starter	Single VPS provisioned and hardened: sudo user, SSH keys, firewall, Fail2ban, OS updates, one runtime or web server, and a handover doc. Ideal for a first deployment or a side project.
Growth	Everything in Starter plus full web stack (Nginx/Caddy + SSL), Docker, a database, automated daily backups, uptime monitoring with alerts, and one app or site deployed and running.
Scale	Everything in Growth plus multi-service Docker Compose orchestration, staging + production separation, log rotation and metrics dashboards, tuned performance, and a defined window of ongoing managed maintenance.

No tier locks you in — you keep full root access and the server stays in your own provider account.

How it works

1. You order and tell me your goal: provider, region, distro, and what the server will run.
2. I confirm the spec — sizing, NVMe disk, and a short plan — before touching anything.
3. You grant access (or I help you create the account) so the VPS lives under your ownership.
4. I provision and harden the server, install your stack, and deploy your app or site.
5. I test uptime, SSL, firewall rules, backups, and restores end to end.
6. I hand over the server with a complete documentation file and walk you through it.
7. You're live — and I stay reachable for follow-up questions or managed maintenance.

Why choose this

• NVMe-first, uptime-focused. I verify real disk speed and design for the 99.9% availability target, not a generic copy-paste setup.
• You own everything. The VPS sits in your account with your billing and your root key — no lock-in, no hostage credentials.
• Security from minute one. Key-only SSH, firewall, and Fail2ban are standard, not upsells.
• Documented, not mysterious. Every server ships with a handover doc so a future developer (or future you) can pick it up.
• Honest scope. I manage cloud VPS infrastructure. If something is outside that, I'll tell you plainly.

Who it's for / use cases

• Founders launching an MVP who need a reliable, secure host without hiring a DevOps engineer.
• Indie developers moving off expensive PaaS to a self-managed VPS with predictable performance.
• Agencies needing client sites deployed on hardened, monitored servers they can confidently hand off.
• Backend engineers who want their API, database, and Docker stack provisioned correctly so they can focus on code.
• Teams migrating an existing app to a faster NVMe server, or splitting into staging and production.
• Anyone running WordPress, a Node/Python app, a Discord bot, or a self-hosted tool who wants it stable and secure.

FAQ

Q: Do I keep ownership of the server? Yes — the VPS lives in your own provider account with your billing and root access. You're never locked in.

Q: Which providers do you support? DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Vultr, AWS Lightsail, and most major hosts. If you already have a provider, I'll work with it.

Q: How do you reach 99.9% uptime? Through proper configuration, NVMe storage, sensible resource sizing, automated backups, and active uptime monitoring with alerts so issues are caught early.

Q: Is the server secured by default? Always. Key-only SSH, a non-root sudo user, a configured firewall, and Fail2ban are part of every setup, not extras.

Q: Can you migrate my existing app or site? Yes — I can move your app, database, and files to the new NVMe server and verify everything works before cutover.

Q: What do you need from me to start? Your goal for the server, preferred provider and region, distro choice, and account access (or a session to create it together).

Q: Do you offer ongoing management after setup? Yes — the Scale tier includes a defined maintenance window, and managed upkeep can be arranged for any plan.

Q: What if something breaks after handover? I stay reachable for follow-up. The handover doc also documents restores and common fixes so you're never stranded.
