Infrastructure & Hosting

On a server nobody understands?

Infrastructure & Hosting

A surprising number of businesses run something important on hosting nobody has looked at in years. It was set up by a developer who has left, or by an agency that no longer exists, and the login is in a spreadsheet. It works, until the afternoon it does not.

This is the work of putting that right. Moving off it, setting up something you actually own, and getting deployments, backups and monitoring to the point where a bad day is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.

Kryspin, our co-founder, leads this. System architecture is what he does when he is not writing application code, which means the person designing your infrastructure is the same person who understands what is running on it.

Talk to us
On a server nobody understands?

This is probably you if

  • Nobody currently at your business set up the hosting.
  • You are on shared hosting and have outgrown it, or suspect you have.
  • Deploying a change is a manual process that somebody dreads.
  • You have no idea whether your backups would actually restore.

Sound familiar? We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Tell us what's going on

What that involves

Migration

Moving off the current host without a day of downtime and without losing the email nobody remembered was attached to it. Planned, rehearsed, then done out of hours.

Hosting set up properly

Laravel Cloud, AWS or your own provider, configured for what you actually run rather than a default that assumes a blog. In your account and your name, so it is yours.

Deployment that is not manual

Changes going live from a pipeline rather than somebody dragging files at nine at night. Faster, and it removes the most common way a live site breaks.

Backups you have tested

Automated, off site, and restored at least once in front of you. An untested backup is a belief, not a backup.

Monitoring and alerts

Knowing the site is down before a customer rings to tell you, and having enough detail to know why rather than guessing.

Security and access

Certificates, firewalls, patching and getting credentials out of the spreadsheet and into somewhere access can be removed when somebody leaves.

“Highly recommended 628, we had great support on developing a fresh/modern new website. We've already had some big client wins since the site launched.”

Why people choose us

Why people choose us.

Plenty of studios can build you a website. Here's what tends to make the difference.

You talk to the people building it

Founder-led, so there's no account manager relaying your question to someone you never meet. Decisions get made in the same conversation.

A fixed price before we start

You get the number up front, after a free call. No day rate quietly ticking over and no invoice that surprises you at the end.

You own all of it

Code, designs, hosting, repositories. No proprietary platform you can't leave and no licence that grows every time you hire someone.

We'll tell you not to spend

If a tidy-up solves it, we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild. We'd rather lose the bigger job than take money for something that won't pay back.

Offices you can actually visit

Leicester and Huddersfield. Happy to sit down with you and map the thing out in person, happy to keep it to a call if that's easier.

We stay after launch

We watch how it performs, fix what surfaces and keep improving it. We don't hand over and disappear the week after you go live.

Questions, answered.

Start a project

Build it.
With us.

Tell us what's holding your business back. We'll work with you to design and build what fixes it.
