Dedicated Server Management (Bring Your Own)
Dedicated servers, fully managed — $50/hr
Purchase a dedicated server from any provider (or use your own hardware) and give us admin access. We'll install, configure, secure, and optimize everything your business needs — using your preferred software stack.
- High-traffic websites
- eCommerce stores
- Resource-heavy apps
- Custom infrastructure
- Media-heavy sites
- SaaS / internal tools
You purchase a dedicated server from any provider (or use your own hardware). We manage it end-to-end.
OS + control panel + web stack + security + monitoring + updates + performance tuning + troubleshooting.
WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel, Node, PHP, Python, Docker, reverse proxies, caching layers, mail routing, and more.
Hourly service for setup, migrations, hardening, ongoing maintenance, and incident response.
How it works
You own the server. We handle the systems administration so your stack runs reliably, securely, and fast.
Buy a dedicated server from any provider (or use self-hosted hardware). If you want, we can recommend specs based on your traffic and application needs.
You provide administrative access (SSH and/or provider console). We follow least-privilege practices and can work with your internal policies.
We install your chosen stack, migrate data, secure services, set up monitoring/backups, and perform ongoing maintenance and optimization at $50/hr on-demand.
What we manage
From initial setup to ongoing maintenance, we cover the full lifecycle of your dedicated server.
- Initial server provisioning guidance (sizing, provider selection, network expectations)
- OS installation/configuration (Linux preferred; other setups supported where feasible)
- Control panel setup (recommended: CyberPanel)
- Web stack installation (OpenLiteSpeed / Nginx / Apache) + PHP + database
- Security hardening (SSH, firewall rules, least privilege, update policies)
- Monitoring & alerting (uptime checks, resource alerts, log review workflows)
- Backups strategy (snapshot/remote backups, retention planning, restore testing)
- Website/app migrations (DNS, SSL, email routing, downtime-minimizing cutovers)
- Performance optimization (caching, OPcache, Redis/Memcached, DB tuning, CDN integration)
- Ongoing patching and maintenance (kernel/userspace updates, reboots, service health checks)
- Troubleshooting & incident response (abuse, spikes, errors, outages, compromised accounts)
Recommended stack (cost-effective performance)
If you want a proven setup that performs extremely well without expensive licensing, we typically suggest CyberPanel + OpenLiteSpeed.
Prefer Nginx, Apache, or a container-first approach? No problem — we'll implement your chosen stack.
- Faster page loads via caching + server tuning
- Stronger security posture with hardening and monitoring
- Cleaner deployments and safer migrations
- Reduced downtime risk through proactive maintenance
If you're not sure what stack to choose, tell us what you're running (WordPress, WooCommerce, custom app, etc.) and your traffic expectations — we'll propose an optimal setup.
Pricing
Simple and transparent. You pay your provider directly for the server. Our management is billed hourly.
Setup, administration, troubleshooting, maintenance, optimization, migrations.
Dedicated server fees (hardware, bandwidth, IPs, backups, snapshots) are billed by your provider and are not included in our hourly rate.
Complex builds (custom stacks, HA setups, multi-server clusters) are handled as hourly engagements.
Same add-ons/services available for VPS can be applied here when compatible with your OS/provider.
Additional isolation + hardened environment (where compatible).
WAF/malware protection + server security layers (availability depends on OS/provider).
If you want additional add-ons not listed here (advanced monitoring, backup replication, CDN setup, email deliverability), we can include them in your hourly engagement.
FAQ
Common questions about our Dedicated Server Management service.
QDo you sell dedicated servers?
No. You purchase the server from any provider you prefer (or use self-hosted hardware). We provide the management and system administration.
QCan you manage servers from any datacenter/provider?
Yes. We can manage most providers as long as you can grant us administrative access (SSH and/or provider console access). Self-hosted servers are also possible if remote access is available.
QWhat does “full management” include?
Setup, configuration, security hardening, monitoring, updates, performance tuning, troubleshooting, migrations, and ongoing maintenance—tailored to your stack and goals.
QWhat stacks do you support?
Common web stacks like WordPress/WooCommerce, Laravel, custom PHP apps, Node.js apps, reverse proxies, Docker-based deployments, Redis/Memcached, and more. If you have a specific stack, we can implement it.
QWhat do you recommend for the best cost-effective performance?
CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed is a great balance of performance and cost, especially for WordPress and PHP-based applications.
QHow does billing work?
Management is billed at $50 per hour for on-demand work. Your dedicated server costs are paid directly to your provider and are separate from our management fees.
QCan you help migrate my existing site/server?
Yes. We can migrate websites, databases, DNS, SSL, and email routing where applicable. We aim for minimal downtime and a safe rollback plan.
QIs this better than VPS or Semi-Dedicated hosting?
Dedicated servers provide the highest performance and isolation. VPS is typically the most limited in raw performance, while Semi-Dedicated is a strong middle ground. Dedicated is ideal when you need consistent resources, heavy workloads, or custom infrastructure.
QDo you provide backups?
We can implement a backup strategy that fits your needs (provider snapshots, remote backups, scheduled backups, and restore testing). The exact approach depends on your provider and requirements.
QCan you secure a server that’s been hacked?
We can assist with incident response, cleanup, hardening, and recovery planning. Scope depends on the situation and access to logs/backups.
