Web hosting & server setup

Whether you're hosting a single site or a handful of internal tools, the server stack behind it should be boring: configured once, documented, and easy for anyone to pick up later. We set up and maintain the hosting layer, web server config, certificates, deploy paths and staging, so releases aren't a manual, error-prone ritual.

What's included

  • Nginx or Apache virtual host configuration
  • TLS/SSL certificates, including auto-renewal
  • Reverse proxy and load balancing setup
  • Deploy pipelines that don't require SSH-ing in by hand
  • Staging environments kept separate from production
RATES
$115–$150 / hour

Standard remote and on-site support in Calgary. Fixed-scope project quotes available on request.

Frequently asked questions

Nginx or Apache, which should I run?

Depends on the workload; we'll recommend one during setup rather than defaulting to either. Both get configured with auto-renewing TLS and documented virtual hosts.

Can you set this up without any downtime on the current site?

Yes, we build and test the new stack on staging first, then cut over DNS or the reverse proxy once it's verified, so the live site isn't touched until it's ready.

Do you handle SSL certificate renewal?

Yes, certificates are configured to auto-renew, and we monitor for expiry so it's never a surprise.
