VPS Setup & Hardening

Overview

Already have a VPS on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode or AWS Lightsail? We'll turn a blank server into a secure, production-ready machine — properly documented so you're never locked in.

Web server, databases, SSL, firewalls, CI/CD deploys and monitoring, all set up to best practice.
