Servers still running distribution versions that no longer receive security fixes. Our fix: A supported release plan with in-place or rebuild upgrades.

We build and look after Linux servers for web, database, file, mail and application workloads: hardened from the first boot, patched on a schedule and documented so anyone qualified can take over.
What we often inherit
Linux servers left to drift.
End-of-life releases
Servers still running distribution versions that no longer receive security fixes.
Root login over the internet
SSH open to the world with password logins and no rate limiting.
Built by hand, never written down
Only the person who built it knows which services and cron jobs matter.
Disk fills up overnight
Logs grow until the disk is full and the application stops.
What we deliver
Linux servers built to a standard.
The right release for your application, support needs and lifecycle.
Minimal install, SSH hardening, firewall, SELinux or AppArmor and audit logging.
Web, database, file, container or application stacks configured and tuned.
Scheduled security updates with testing and reboot windows agreed.
Disk, memory, services and certificates watched with alerts.
Build notes, service map and recovery steps handed over.
Common roles
What your Linux servers will be doing.
Web & app servers
Tuned stacks behind a firewall or reverse proxy.
Database servers
Storage, memory and backups tuned for the database.
File & backup targets
Reliable storage for shares and backup copies.
Container hosts
Hosts prepared for containerised applications.

FAQ
Questions about Linux Servers.
Have a different question? A specialist will reply on WhatsApp.
Yes. We document what it runs, check its security and health, then recommend whether to stabilise it in place or rebuild it cleanly on a supported release.
Yes, when it is configured and patched properly. We harden every build and keep it updated on an agreed schedule.
Most updates apply without interruption. Kernel updates may need a short reboot, which we schedule in an agreed maintenance window.
Yes. Many clients run both, and we manage them under one plan with shared monitoring and documentation.
Not always. Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky and Alma can run without fees. RHEL and paid Ubuntu support are subscriptions, worth it when a vendor requires them.
Yes. We test the application on the new release first, then migrate with a rollback plan.
Yes. We prepare and maintain Docker or Podman hosts and can help structure how containers are deployed and updated.
We isolate it, preserve evidence, rebuild from a clean baseline and restore data from verified backups, then close the gap that allowed it.
