FAQ
Which Linux distribution should I choose?
I recommend Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Debian 12 for most use cases — they're stable, well-documented and widely supported. I'll happily work with any modern Linux distro you prefer.
Do I need to purchase the VPS before ordering?
Yes. You'll need an active VPS with SSH root access. I can recommend providers based on your budget and location if needed.
Can you deploy a specific stack (like Node.js, Laravel, WordPress)?
Absolutely. Just mention your stack requirements when ordering and I'll configure everything accordingly.
Will you provide documentation of what was installed?
Yes. All packages include a documentation file with installed software, versions, configurations, and credentials so you (or anyone in your team) can manage the server later.
What about ongoing maintenance after setup?
This gig covers initial setup and hardening. If you need ongoing maintenance, ask me about my managed hosting service — I offer monthly maintenance plans.
