- From $79
- 1-day delivery
- Unlimited revisions
- Secure checkout

Your site is down and you need it back today. I log in to your Linux server, find the real cause (not just restart things), fix it, and tell you in plain words what happened and how to stop it happening again.
What's included
- Diagnosis of Nginx/Apache errors: 502, 503, 504, 403 and SSL errors
- Disk full (No space left on device), inode exhaustion and runaway logs
- Out of memory and OOM killer crashes, swap and process limits
- Crashed Node.js, PHP-FPM, Docker or database services brought back up
- Root cause written down, with the commands I ran
- A short list of fixes so it does not happen again
Who this is for
- Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky or CentOS servers
- VPS on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Hostinger, Contabo, AWS EC2, Linode/Akamai or similar
- WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, Next.js, Django and Docker apps
What I need from you
- SSH access (a temporary user with sudo is best, you can delete it after)
- The error you see, or a screenshot
- What changed recently, if you know
How it works
- Message me with what you need. The first consultation is free.
- I confirm the scope and a fixed price before any work starts.
- I do the work and keep you updated in the chat.
- You review it, and I hand over notes, access and anything I changed.

Questions
How fast can you start?
Message me with the error and I start as soon as I see it. Most outages are fixed within a few hours of getting access.
What if the fix needs more than an hour or two?
I tell you what I found and the price for the bigger fix before I do it. You never pay for work you did not agree to.
Is it safe to give you SSH access?
Create a separate user for me, and remove it when we are done. I work only on what the job needs and list every change I make.
