Linux VPS & Server Maintenance | Migrations, Backups, Security

I help small businesses, indie SaaS founders and developers keep Linux servers and VPS environments stable, updated and documented. I can support practical server operations such as: • VPS setup and migrations between hosting providers • Ubuntu/Linux updates and routine maintenance • SSH access, users, permissions, firewalls and basic hardening • Nginx/Apache, SSL certificates and DNS configuration • Automated backups, retention checks and restore verification • Monitoring for uptime, disk space, CPU/RAM and service health • Deploying and updating small web apps and services • Troubleshooting logs, failed services, domains, certificates and deployment issues • Simple automation and documentation for repeatable administration tasks I work methodically: inspect first, verify a backup or rollback path, make the smallest safe change, test the result and document what changed. I can also use AI-assisted research, diagnostics, scripting and documentation when it makes technical work faster without sacrificing verification. I’m a good fit for ongoing maintenance of small VPS environments and technical operations where you need a reliable extra pair of hands—not a 24/7 enterprise NOC or a large Kubernetes architecture team. Typical engagements include: • Monthly VPS maintenance • Server migration and post-migration checks • Backup and restore setup • SSL, DNS and server troubleshooting • Deployment and maintenance of small apps • Clear handover notes and repeatable maintenance checklists I communicate clearly with non-technical owners and can work from an existing setup, a checklist or a documented runbook.
