You build the sites. I'll look after the servers.

Sound familiar?

• Your team are brilliant at building sites, but nobody really wants to be on call for the servers.
• You've inherited client servers that someone set up years ago, and you're not sure what's on them.
• Security updates, backups and SSL certificates keep slipping down the list.
• A client asked a hosting or security question and you weren't sure of the answer.
• Hiring a full-time sysadmin doesn't make sense for the number of servers you have.

How I help

I become your sysadmin, without the salary. You keep building; I keep the servers patched, backed up, monitored and secure.

• Under your name, or mine. I can work as part of your team so your clients only ever see your agency, or be introduced as your sysadmin. Whichever you prefer.
• Client contact if you want it. I can join calls and deal with your clients directly, or stay entirely behind you.
• Inherited servers sorted. Taking on a new client with a mystery server? I'll check it, tell you what you're walking into, and fix it.
• Plain-English answers. When a client asks about hosting, security or Cyber Essentials, you'll have someone to ask.
