Managed Hosting & DevOps

Your servers, never asleep.
Neither does our team.

AWS, GCP, Hetzner or your own metal — from server provisioning to autoscaling, from CDN layer to security hardening and 24/7 incident response, we run it end-to-end. You grow the product; we run everything beneath it, quietly.

A "server is down" text should not wake you at 3 AM. We own the SLA, we own the pager, we own the fix — you wake up, glance at the dashboard, and everything is still green.

Problem

DIY hosting will, one day, become very expensive.

Over the past few years we have watched dozens of projects start with "we will manage the VPS ourselves, we have a Linux person" and all of them ended in the same place. One Saturday the server went down, no one picked up the phone, customers could not place orders, and Google duly noted hours of downtime. A week later rankings dropped three pages and conversions halved. The 200 dollars saved per month became 20,000 in lost revenue overnight.

The security side is quieter but more dangerous. A critical CVE drops for nginx and your server stays unpatched for eight weeks; an old OpenSSL is forgotten in production; phpMyAdmin sits exposed on the internet. A scanning bot finds these in under four hours on average. The moment an attacker is in, they either install a cryptominer (server crawls, bills explode) or exfiltrate customer data — KVKK / GDPR fine plus years of reputation damage.

A no-failover architecture is a bomb waiting for the plug to be pulled. Single server, single disk failure, single availability zone problem, single wrong sudo command — each one stops the entire business. Even major cloud providers have had simultaneous regional problems (AWS us-east-1, Cloudflare Frankfurt, GCP europe-west-3 each had at least one in the last 18 months). A failover architecture is the answer to "when", not "if".

Living without a CDN in 2026 is, by itself, a mistake. Serving the entire world from a single datacenter means 800ms TTFB for a US visitor, 1.2 seconds for an Australian, red LCP in Core Web Vitals, and no chance of beating competitors on mobile. Cloudflare or Bunny CDN cost 20 dollars a month — but anyone who sets them up wrong caches stale stock data to users or accidentally caches the admin panel. Catastrophic.

And finally: manual deploys. Someone opens a terminal, types "git pull && composer install && php artisan migrate", forgets one step, the site dies. There is no rollback script, because no one wrote one. CI/CD is not a luxury but a sanitary requirement. With a pipeline, every commit is auto-tested, auto-promoted to staging, and one-click to prod — and if it breaks, it rolls back in 10 seconds. These four — uptime, security, failover, deploy — together form what we call managed hosting; solving them separately leaves half the job undone.

Who it is for

If a single night of downtime hurts your business, you are in the right place.

Managed hosting is not "for every site" — but for the eight categories below, ignoring it is not an option.

E-commerce with seasonal peaks

Most asked

Eight questions clients ask before the handover.

Both can be the right answer, depending on the situation. AWS is unbeatable when you need multi-region redundancy, managed services (RDS, S3, CloudFront), enterprise SLAs, and compliance certificates — at 3–5× the monthly bill. Hetzner has unbeatable price-to-performance in Europe; Germany/Finland locations, cheap high-performance machines, KVKK/GDPR compliant. If traffic is predictable and enterprise certification is not required, Hetzner; if traffic is unpredictable and certification is mandatory, AWS. Our usual recommendation is a hybrid — app on Hetzner, S3-compatible object storage, Cloudflare CDN in front.
Done right, the migration is invisible to users. The process: stand up the new infra in parallel (old system untouched), stream the database via replication to the new environment, sync application files, run end-to-end tests in staging (user flows, payments, e-mail). Then in an off-peak window we drop DNS TTL to 60 seconds, run a final delta sync, flip DNS to the new IP. The old system stays read-write for another 72 hours (in case of rollback). With this method, 46 of the last 47 migrations we ran had zero user-visible downtime; the 47th took a planned 4-minute window.
Depends on the SLA tier in the contract. Standard tier 99.9% = 43 min 49 s per month; Pro 99.95% = 21 min 54 s; Enterprise 99.99% = 4 min 22 s. These figures include planned maintenance windows; we do not exclude planned maintenance, because to users downtime type does not matter. Trailing 12-month average: 99.984% (reported each month, transparent public uptime page). When SLA is breached we credit automatically — monthly fee deducted per minute over budget. The point, however, is not to need the credit; that is why we run multi-AZ, fast failover, automatic node healing.
For an internal tool in a single city/country with little static content and under 50 users, no. For any public-facing site that gets traffic from search, yes. Reasons: first, Google Core Web Vitals LCP/FCP depend directly on TTFB, and without a CDN half the planet measures you badly. Second, DDoS front line; a single server falls easily, while a CDN provider (Cloudflare-class) absorbs millions of requests per second. Third, cost — CDN is cheap, origin compute is expensive; offloading cacheable traffic typically saves 40–60% on the monthly bill. So in our default architecture, a CDN is always present.
Wrongly configured, yes. Configured properly, no. Wrong: unlimited max scale, no cache, aggressive scale-out rule — a bot attack opens 200 instances, end-of-month bill 40,000 dollars. Right: a hard max cap first (e.g. 12 instances), then rate-limit and WAF so bot traffic never reaches origin, then metric-based scale-out (only when p95 latency > 200ms), and most importantly automatic scale-down at the daily low-traffic hour. With our clients the bill rises 15–25% with auto-scale while traffic grows 200–300% — i.e. cost per unit of traffic drops. A daily 8 AM Slack hook reports the bill, no surprises.
You need two things at once: snapshots and transaction log. Our default: hourly snapshot kept 7 days, daily snapshot 30 days, weekly snapshot 6 months, monthly snapshot 1 year. Plus continuous WAL log (PostgreSQL/MySQL binlog) for point-in-time recovery — you can rewind to any second. Backups are encrypted and stored in a separate region (e.g. prod Frankfurt, backup Paris). We run a monthly restore drill — actually bringing the backup up and verifying data integrity; "we have backups" is not enough, "backups can be restored" is. Many companies have backups that were never tested — the most dangerous scenario.
Three layers at three frequencies. Layer one: automated vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Trivy, Snyk) — daily scan of all images and servers, critical CVE patched within 24 hours. Layer two: monthly internal security review — our DevSecOps team reviews access, secret rotation, log integrity. Layer three: twice-yearly external penetration test by an independent firm (CREST or OSCP-certified) — including social engineering. On top of this, additional triggered pen-tests before critical events (major launch, regulation change). All findings scored with CVSS; critical closed within 24h, high 7d, medium 30d.
The chain is: monitoring detects the anomaly in 30 seconds, auto-routes to PagerDuty; PagerDuty calls the engineer on-call that night (3 AM Türkiye is 1 AM Germany), if no answer in 5 minutes a second engineer, if no answer in another 10 minutes the head of engineering. As soon as the engineer is in, a dedicated incident channel opens in Slack; one person from your side (CTO, product manager) is added. Within 48 hours of any incident a post-mortem report is written: what, why, fix, prevention. Last year the on-call engineer responded within 15 minutes 99.4% of the time.
