Linux web and application hosting
Most business web applications still run on a Linux server with a web server, an application runtime and a database. Done right it is cheap and fast; done badly it is a single point of failure with no backups.
We build these stacks with configuration in Git, TLS automated, databases backed up and tested, and monitoring that pages before customers notice.
At a glance
| Web | Nginx, Apache, HAProxy, Caddy |
|---|---|
| Runtimes | PHP-FPM, Node.js, Python (Gunicorn/uvicorn), Java, .NET on Linux |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis |
| Panels | cPanel/WHM, Plesk where required |

How we work
Linux fleets stay healthy through automation and discipline. We build servers from a standard image with Ansible, patch them on a schedule with a staging ring, keep SELinux or AppArmor on, and log everything to a central collector. The result is a fleet that looks the same everywhere and can be rebuilt from Git.
Migrations, whether CentOS to Rocky, RHEL 8 to 9 or Windows to Linux, are done per workload with a test pass, a cutover window and a rollback. We coordinate with application vendors and keep the paperwork for compliance.
Subscriptions and licences are reviewed as part of the work. Plenty of businesses pay for RHEL where Rocky would do, or run unsupported CentOS where a subscription would satisfy an auditor. We fix both directions.

Frequently asked questions
Should I move to containers instead?
If the application is actively developed and you deploy often, containers pay off. A stable application with rare changes is fine on a well-managed VM.
