Managed Linux servers
for web agencies.

We handle updates, deployments, monitoring and backups for your clients' servers. Your agency keeps the client relationship and has more time for new projects.

Example view with sample data: taking over operations for a client system – review, secure, and maintain.

Common operations problems

The systems run,
but ownership is unclear.

Updates, backups and deployments can slip in the day-to-day. We set clear ownership for your systems.

We work with your current setup when it can be operated securely.

  • Security updates wait until somebody has time.
  • Backups run, but nobody has tested a restore.
  • Deployments depend on one person or manual steps.
  • Monitoring reports problems without a clear response owner.
  • Access, certificates and maintenance windows are undocumented.
  • After a developer leaves, nobody owns operations.
  • Client applications run without ongoing server care.
  • Server maintenance competes with project work.

Review

Map servers, applications, access, backups and ownership.

Secure

Review access, firewalls, backups and recovery procedures.

Maintain

Handle updates, monitoring and agreed changes, then document the work.

Review, secure,
and maintain.

We document the current setup, agree on responsibilities and take over the operations scope you need.

Operations for
client applications

For agencies without an in-house ops team, we manage backups, deployments, monitoring and security for existing client applications.

Example view with sample data: reports, alerts and maintenance windows turned into planned work.

Services

Modernize
without a rebuild

We upgrade versions, untangle dependencies and add tests where changes are risky. Step by step in production, without building a second system in parallel.

Explore modernization

Example view with sample data: build, tests and deployment in one traceable flow.

Services

Migrate to
the cloud

When servers, scaling or ownership have outgrown the setup: we migrate existing applications into an EU cloud in a controlled way — with a rollback path and no vendor lock-in.

Anonymized insights into operating, stabilizing and modernizing existing systems. Names and data stay private, the engineering does not.

  1. DevOps

    Connecting Linux, monitoring and security into one ops base

    Deployments, backups and security signals in one operating model — not scattered tools.

    Resilient ops baseline

  2. Delivery

    From manual shipping to reproducible releases

    Builds, tests and releases instead of Friday-night deploys — a pipeline the team can repeat.

    Reproducible releases

  3. Legacy

    Making legacy PHP safely changeable again

    Critical paths mapped, tests as a safety net, changes without fear of silent regressions.

    Predictable change cadence

All projects

Ongoing operations
for servers and applications

Updates, deployments, monitoring, backups and agreed changes with a fixed monthly hour budget and clear ownership. We recommend open-source tooling after a technical review so nobody overbuys or buys the wrong stack.

Notes from the work

Articles in English

  1. PHP 8.2 security support ends on December 31, 2026

    Three months remain in the year. Find every PHP 8.2 runtime, check dependencies and plan the upgrade with a tested rollback path.

  2. PHP application: modernize or rewrite?

    A rewrite sounds cleaner, but it discards the knowledge built into the running application. This decision needs numbers.

  3. Your software works. But is it healthy?

    Seven practical signs that software and infrastructure are becoming harder to change, operate and secure.

  4. German Cloud Infrastructure with IONOS CLOUD

    Cloud infrastructure should fit the company and the application. As simple as possible, as complex as necessary.
