A cheap VPS that is hardened, backed up and looked after

A $12 droplet is only cheap until it gets rooted or the disk fills at 2am. We provision, harden and manage budget VPSes on DigitalOcean, Linode and Vultr — firewall, keys-only SSH, offsite backups and day-2 ops — so you get big-cloud discipline on a small-cloud bill, and we right-size it so you never pay for cores you don't use.

What we deliver

Everything your VPS needs — end to end

Provisioned, hardened, backed up and maintained so your budget server stays secure and reliably online.

Provisioning & setup

Fresh droplets and instances on DigitalOcean, Linode or Vultr — sized to your workload, with your stack installed and configured from a repeatable cloud-init.

Hardening

Firewall, fail2ban, keys-only SSH, non-root users, automatic security updates and sane sysctl — the baseline every internet-facing box should have but rarely does.

Managed day-2 ops

Patching, monitoring, log rotation, service restarts and troubleshooting — the ongoing care that keeps a cheap server from quietly rotting.

Backups & recovery

Nightly encrypted offsite snapshots with restic or borg, plus provider snapshots — tested so a bad deploy or dead disk is an inconvenience, not a disaster.

Provider migration

Moving between DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr or off a legacy host — we replicate the box, cut over DNS carefully and keep downtime to minutes.

Right-sizing for budget

We match plan, CPU, RAM and storage to real usage and add swap where it helps — so you run comfortably without over-paying for headroom you never touch.

Built for production

Big-cloud discipline on a small-cloud bill

We provision from repeatable scripts, harden every box the same way, and back it all up offsite — so a budget VPS behaves like managed infrastructure, not a liability.

  • Hardened from day one — firewall, fail2ban, keys-only SSH and automatic security updates.
  • Backed up offsite — nightly encrypted snapshots you can actually restore.
  • Right-sized for spend — no paying for cores and RAM you never use.

FAQ

Common questions

Which provider should we use — DigitalOcean, Linode or Vultr?

It depends on your region, workload and budget. All three are solid; we help you pick based on where your users are, the resources you actually need, and the pricing that fits — then set it up properly.

Can you take over a VPS someone else set up?

Yes — we audit the box, harden it, add backups and monitoring, and manage it going forward. No rebuild required unless it is genuinely beyond saving.

Can you migrate us between providers or off an old host?

We replicate your server on the new provider, sync data, test it, then cut DNS over carefully so downtime is measured in minutes, not hours.

Do we need a long contract?

No. Pick a monthly plan for ongoing management and monitoring, or a one-off Drop-In for a single setup or migration — no lock-in.
