I provide professional server administration services for businesses that need stable, secure, and well-maintained systems. My focus is on keeping your servers running smoothly, performing efficiently, and staying protected against failures or security threats. Whether you run a single production machine or a full network of servers, I manage everything behind the scenes so you can focus on your business instead of your infrastructure.
Good server administration is about consistency and discipline. It’s not just about spinning up new hardware or updating software, it’s about maintaining a clean, documented environment that can scale and recover when needed. I take a hands-on approach to system management, tuning, and automation, with an emphasis on long-term reliability and clear configuration.
My server administration services include:
- System Setup and Configuration: Clean installations, environment planning, and service configuration for FreeBSD, Debian, and other Unix-like systems.
- Security Management: Patch management, firewall configuration, intrusion prevention, and vulnerability mitigation.
- Performance Optimization: Kernel and system tuning, caching, resource balancing, and database performance improvement.
- Monitoring and Maintenance: 24/7 uptime and health monitoring, proactive issue detection, and regular system audits.
- Backups and Disaster Recovery: Automated backup routines, data integrity testing, and full recovery plans.
- Updates and Upgrades: Scheduled operating system updates, dependency management, and release migrations.
- Automation and DevOps: Implementation of Ansible, shell scripts, and deployment pipelines to simplify management.
I work with both on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure. Some clients use me to manage a single web server or application host, while others have complex multi-server environments that require coordinated administration. I handle both scenarios with the same care, focusing on clean configurations, detailed documentation, and predictable performance.
Most of my clients come to me after systems have become slow, unstable, or neglected. I rebuild or tune environments so they’re easier to manage and harder to break. Once systems are healthy, I keep them that way with regular maintenance and monitoring. I’m comfortable working with FreeBSD, Debian, and other Unix systems in production and can integrate with your existing infrastructure or rebuild it from the ground up.
Reliable server administration is quiet work. When done properly, nothing feels exciting about it—because everything simply works. Your sites load, your services stay online, and your logs stay clean. That’s the goal.
If you need professional server administration, I offer both ongoing management contracts and one-time engagements for audits, rebuilds, or recovery work. I provide remote system management for clients throughout the U.S., with a focus on performance, uptime, and long-term maintainability.
