Infrastructure set up properly, and explained clearly.

You do not need a computer science degree to own and run your own server. You need someone to show you how, set it up following current industry good practice, and teach you how to maintain it. That is what Techster Consulting does.

What we do

Services built around your infrastructure

Practical, hands-on help. No jargon, no bloat, no unnecessary upsells.

01

VPS setup

Full server setup guidance from scratch. We walk you through every decision so you understand what is being built and why.

02

Security hardening

We advise on hardening your server using current industry good practice from day one. We explain every step so you understand how to maintain it going forward.

03

Application deployment

We guide you through installing and configuring the open source tools you want to run, from collaborative editors to self-hosted shops.

04

Backup strategy

We help you design and implement a backup routine: where your data lives, how to configure protection, and how to test that restores actually work. You remain responsible for performing and verifying backups going forward, unless a managed backup service has been separately agreed.

05

DNS & SSL

Domain configuration, SSL certificates, and everything needed to configure secure and reliable access, explained clearly as we go.

06

Ongoing guidance

Available when you have questions, want to expand, or need a second opinion. No long contracts, no ticket queues. Just direct advice.

How it works

Simple, transparent process

From first contact to a configured server following current industry good practice. Here is what to expect.

1
Tell us what you need
Send a message describing your setup, your goals, or the problem you're trying to solve. No calls required to get started.
2
We scope the work
You'll receive a clear breakdown of what will be done, how long it takes, and what it costs. All of this before any work begins.
3
We guide you through it
We work through everything together, explaining each step, answering questions as they come up, and helping you understand what is happening and why. You are never just watching.
4
Handover & support
You get a full handover on completion. Ongoing support is available as a retainer or on-demand, whichever suits you.
