Hosting & Deployment
Setting up servers, domains, SSL certificates, backups and monitoring.
A good system on a poorly configured server means a slow site, an expired security certificate, or data with no backup when something goes wrong. Deployment is not a quick final step but part of how the system runs every day.
We set up an environment that fits your system's size and budget: the server or cloud service, domain configuration, an SSL certificate that renews automatically, and email tied to the site. We configure regular backups of the database and files, check that restoring them actually works, and add monitoring that alerts you when the site goes down.
We separate a staging environment for testing changes from the production environment your customers use, and document the deployment and restore steps so running the system does not depend on one person. An existing site can also be moved from one host to another with as little downtime as possible.
We explain where your data is stored and who can access the server, and hand over logins and accounts in your name, so the infrastructure your system runs on belongs to you rather than to whoever set it up.
