// SERVICE 03 — LINUX SERVERS

Servers that just run.

Cloud bills that grow every month. Outages nobody saw coming. We run Linux servers that stay stable — predictable in price, under your control.

// THE PROBLEM

Cloud costs and black-box hosting.

The cloud bill grows every month and nobody knows exactly why. The hosting provider is a black box — when something breaks, you wait on a support ticket. And nobody on the team really knows what's actually happening on the server.

// OUR SOLUTION

Your own servers, clearly under control.

We set up Linux servers with German providers like Hetzner — GDPR-compliant, predictable in price, fully under your control. With proper setup, automatic backups, and monitoring that alerts you before something becomes a problem.

// WHAT WE SET UP

Concretely, that means:

Linux servers on Hetzner, IONOS or your own hardware — cleanly set up and configured.

// TECH STACK

What we run it with.

Proven technologies, no experiments on your server.

Linux (Ubuntu, Debian)

Stable, secure, the server standard for decades. No licensing costs, full control.

CONTAINERS

Docker

Applications run in isolation and reproducibly. Same state on test and production servers.

WEB SERVER

nginx

Fast, resource-efficient web server and reverse proxy. Proven and well-documented.

HOSTING

Hetzner

German provider, GDPR-compliant, fair value. Servers located in Germany.

MONITORING

Prometheus / Grafana

Collect, visualize, alert on metrics. We see problems before you do.

AUTOMATION

CI/CD Pipelines

Deployments run automatically via GitHub Actions — less manual work, fewer errors.

RedisCaching & Sessions

RabbitMQMessage Queues

PostgreSQLDatenbank-Hosting

SentryError-Monitoring

GitHub ActionsCI/CD

The specific choice depends on the project — we use what fits the task, not what's trending.

// HOW IT WORKS

From idea to running server.

No mysterious process. Five clear phases — you always know where your project stands.

First call

What needs to run on the server, how much load do you expect, what are the availability requirements? Non-binding and free.

Concept & proposal

We plan server size, setup and backup strategy and give you a transparent proposal. You know what runs and what it costs.

Setup & hardening

We set up the server, secure it, and configure monitoring and backups. Everything documented and traceable.

Migration & go-live

We bring your applications to the server and support the migration — with as little downtime as possible.

Ongoing operations

We keep the server updated, monitor it, and are reachable when something comes up. You don't need to be on call at night.

// PRICING

What does it cost?

Honest answer: it depends on the project. A single server for one application is different from a complete infrastructure with monitoring and ongoing operation. Instead of a flat number, we do it like this:

Start

How defined is your scope?

Clearly defined

Fixed price after scoping

For clearly scoped setup projects we give you a fixed-price proposal after the first call. You know exactly what it costs upfront.

One sum. No surprise.

ONGOING OPERATIONS

Monthly retainer

For ongoing server operations we work with a monthly flat rate — monitoring, updates and reachability included, predictably calculated.

Predictable. Same every month.

Always

Always: free first call

The first conversation and a rough estimate are free. Only once it's clear that it's a fit do we talk numbers.

60 minutes. By call or in person.

No hidden costs, no surprises on the invoice.

// FAQ

Good to know.

Barely — that's exactly what we're here for. You get the cost control and independence of your own server, without having to become a server administrator yourself. We handle the technical side.
Our monitoring triggers an automatic alert. Depending on the agreed support level, we respond accordingly — and thanks to backups and a clean setup, complete outages are rare. We build systems to run stably.
Yes. We document the setup completely and use standard Linux tools, no proprietary solutions. You're never locked in — the server belongs to you.
We rely on German providers like Hetzner — the servers are located in Germany, operations are GDPR-compliant. Your data does not leave the European legal area.
