Systems Administration & IT Support in Devon
Looking for someone who knows their way around servers, cloud platforms, and secure hosting?

Whether it's Linux servers, Amazon Web Services, database tuning or reliable local IT support, I provide hands-on technical expertise backed by real-world experience.
End-to-end systems support built around your business
If your business relies on technology (and whose doesn’t?), then having the right infrastructure and support in place is essential. I've worked as a systems administrator for over two decades, helping businesses from startups to well-established organisations build, maintain, and secure the technical foundations that keep things running.
From cloud hosting to on-premise setups, I offer flexible support based on what you actually need. No bloat. No long contracts. Just expert help when it matters.
What I can help with

Experience with Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and more. I handle everything from initial setup to long-term maintenance, performance tuning and security patching.
Web server & hosting setup
Need help with Apache, NGINX, or Litespeed? I optimise and secure web servers, manage HTTPS certificates, and ensure sites run fast and stay online.
AWS infrastructure (including EC2)
Set up or migrate to Amazon Web Services. I work with EC2 instances, auto-scaling groups, S3 storage, Route 53, RDS databases, and more.

Why reliable systems admin matters for your business
If you're running a business, your technology needs to just work. But when your server goes down, your emails stop syncing, or your website runs like treacle it's not just annoying. It's costly. Lost time, lost sales, and frustrated customers can all follow.
That's why having an experienced systems administrator on hand makes all the difference. I help businesses avoid tech headaches by:
- Keeping things running in the background - Your server setup, backups, and updates are handled so you can focus on running your business.
- Stopping issues before they cost you money - Proactive monitoring and smart setup prevent outages and slowdowns.
- Protecting your business from digital threats - Ransomware, brute force attacks, and dodgy plugins? I help lock your systems down.
- Giving you peace of mind - You've got someone to call who understands your setup, your business, and how to fix problems fast.
Whether you're a small company running your own site or a growing team using cloud apps and hosted platforms, I make sure your tech supports your business, not the other way around.
