I'll set up your VPS server from scratch — secure, fast, production-ready

Most developers waste hours fighting misconfigured servers, broken SSL certs, and open ports that invite attackers. I'll take your fresh VPS and turn it into a locked-down, production-ready server — so you can focus on shipping, not sysadmin work. Done in 1–2 days, no guesswork.

Clean OS install and initial hardening

Nginx configured and running for your domain(s)

SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) with auto-renewal

Firewall configured (UFW) with only necessary ports open

Fail2ban to block brute-force attempts

Clear handoff notes so you know exactly what was set up

OS setup and system hardening

Nginx configured for 1 domain

SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt, auto-renew)

UFW firewall rules

Fail2ban installation and configuration

You'll have a clean, secure server ready to serve traffic by the next day.

Up to 5 domains with Nginx, SSL, and performance tuning

PHP, Node.js, or Python runtime setup

PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB installation and initial config

Docker and Docker Compose setup

Mail server configuration (Postfix / Dovecot)

Monitoring and automated backups

7-day post-setup support window

Just message me with what you need — I'll scope it out and send a quote within a few hours.

VPS provider and OS preference (Ubuntu 22.04 recommended)

Root or sudo SSH access to the server

Domain name (if applicable) pointed to the server IP

List of any runtimes or services you want installed

For add-ons I may need additional access — we'll discuss specifics after you reach out.

1–2 days for the base setup. Add-ons may extend timeline: confirmed after scoping.
