Cloud hosting, server management and backups
Some businesses run software that needs its own server: a database, a self-hosted app, or an older system that has to stay online. We set up cloud servers, keep them updated, and put backups in place that are tested, not just switched on.
This is a good fit if
- Your website or app runs on a server nobody has updated in months.
- You are not sure your backups would actually restore.
- Something goes down and nobody hears about it until a customer complains.
- You want to move off expensive or unreliable hosting.
What’s included
- Cloud server and database setup with secure, key-based access
- Operating system and software updates
- Automatic backups kept in a separate location, with test restores
- Uptime monitoring and SSL certificate renewals
- Written notes on how everything is set up and how to recover it
Typical projects
- Moving a website and database to a new host without losing data
- A backup plan for business files that follows the 3-2-1 rule
- Monitoring that alerts you when your site goes down
- Locking down a server: updates, firewall rules and key-based logins
How it’s priced
Fixed price for setup and moves. Updates and monitoring can be covered by a monthly support plan. Hosting fees are billed by the provider to you.
The first consultation is free, and nothing is charged until you approve a written proposal.
How pricing worksQuestions about cloud hosting and backups
Not always. Cloud apps keep your data available, but deleted or overwritten files can be gone for good after a short window. A separate backup protects against that.
We choose based on your needs and budget, from managed platforms like Vercel to virtual servers from mainstream cloud providers. The account is always in your name.
It depends on how much work you could afford to redo. Most small businesses back up files and databases at least daily and keep several weeks of history. We recommend a schedule in writing.
