Server Setup and Administration: Linux, Windows, VPS

Server setup at Soft Plus costs from €80: a production-ready VPS with a web server, SSL, backups and monitoring in 1–2 days. Migrating a site to another host — from €50, ongoing server administration — from €60/mo. Emergency server recovery starts the day you reach out, response — within 2 hours. We're a studio based in Kyiv, Ukraine, managing servers remotely across Europe.

Server down, hosting account blocked, or out of disk space? Message us on Telegram — we'll look at it today.

What server setup includes

/01Linux: nginx, Apache, Docker

Ubuntu or Debian, nginx or Apache, PHP/Node.js, database, firewall. Docker — separate containers per app, so updating one never breaks its neighbours. Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal, nightly backups, 24/7 monitoring.

/02Windows Server: IIS, RDP, AD

We stand up IIS for .NET projects, harden RDP (non-standard port, login attempt limits), and deploy basic Active Directory for a small office. Frequently ordered for accounting systems and corporate apps — we take those on too.

/03VPS and cloud

Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS. We pick a plan with no overpaying: a brochure site runs on a €5 machine, a store needs headroom for seasonal peaks. Plus a data-center location close to your audience — Ukraine or elsewhere in Europe.

/04Website migration

Files, database, mail, DNS — your visitors won't even notice the move. We keep the old environment alive until the new one is fully verified. Site built by another team? A short audit first — the format is described under Website Maintenance.

Why clients trust Soft Plus with server work

  • 24/7 monitoring: we learn about an outage before your customers do.
  • Critical-issue response — within 2 hours during business hours.
  • Nightly backups stored separately from the main machine.
  • Every server is documented: services, ports, backup schedule — no dependency on the contractor.
  • Configuration tailored to the project: what we build in Website Development, we deploy ourselves.

#An online store from Kyiv with 12,000 products was moving off shared hosting that kept collapsing during evening peaks, onto a VPS at Hetzner. We migrated a copy, ran tests for two days and switched DNS overnight — zero minutes of downtime, and catalog pages sped up from 3.1 to 0.9 seconds.

Questions and answers

Which VPS should I choose for my website?

A brochure site or landing page runs fine on 2 GB of RAM (€5–8/mo at Hetzner). An online store needs 4 GB and up, with headroom for sales campaigns. We'll advise precisely after a short brief — with no lock-in to any particular host.

How long does a website migration to another host take?

A typical site — 1–2 days including verification. A large store — up to a week: we load-test the copy first and only then switch DNS. Visitors see zero downtime.

The server was hacked or stopped responding — what should I do?

Emergency server recovery starts the same day you reach out: we restore from backup, find the cause and close the vulnerability. If there were no copies, we salvage the surviving data and set up backups right away.

Why pay for ongoing server administration when everything works?

It's optional: a one-off setup plus backups runs on its own. But security updates ship weekly — for a store or a service holding customer data, administration from €60/mo costs less than a single incident.

Do you work with Windows Server or only Linux?

Both. Linux is our primary web stack; Windows Server we take on for IIS, RDP access and basic Active Directory. Hybrid setups (website on Linux + office services on Windows) are fine too.

Потрібен був сайт для аварійної служби, часу не було зовсім. Запустили за кілька тижнів, самі зібрали і написали тексти по послугах. Дрібні правки після запуску роблять без нагадувань.»

Щиро дякую, хлопці профі!
