Security, speed, recovery
Reliable hosting setup for serious websites
We configure servers your business relies on: access control, HTTPS, monitoring hooks, and written steps when something breaks at night. No fake “100% uptime” claims.
Reliable hosting means your website files live on servers that stay online, stay secure, and can be fixed when something breaks. We set up and tune Linux-style VPS servers for WordPress and PHP sites common among trades and service businesses. You get documented access, backups, HTTPS renewals, and plain-language notes on where to look when the site feels slow or down.
What you get
- Security baselines: sensible user accounts, key-based SSH where appropriate, firewall posture, and limits on noisy traffic when your host allows it.
- Web and PHP setup: web server config and PHP pools tuned for your traffic tier.
- HTTPS: TLS certificates and renewal paths you can track.
- Logs and checks: where to read errors, slow requests, and disk alerts.
- Runbooks: short written steps for certificate failures, full disks, and rotating database passwords.
Risks you should still plan for
- Provider outages or crowded shared resources on smaller plans.
- Large traffic spikes or abuse that may need upstream protection.
- Misbehaving bots hammering uncached pages.
- Email deliverability if mail still shares the same IP without proper DNS mail auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC ).
No uptime guarantee in marketing copy
Speed and uptime depend on traffic, code quality, and your provider. We document how the server is built and how to recover it. Written uptime or response-time guarantees belong in a contract with clear monitoring rules, not on a brochure. For ongoing updates and checks after changes, see website maintenance.
Contact Archi FX with your traffic level, regions, and whether you take payments on-site so we can scope hosting correctly.
