What's included

What is included with server management.

Most servers fit one of two per-server plans. Anything unusual gets a custom scope.

Monitoring backed by engineer response

Load, memory, CPU, disk, mail queues and services watched continuously. When something alerts, an engineer looks at it and acts on it instead of forwarding it to you.

Security patching & hardening

OS and package updates, kernel updates, SSH and firewall hardening. Advanced adds security monitoring.

Backups & recovery

We manage the backups and run the restores when you need one. For critical systems we also plan disaster recovery with you.

Performance tuning

Web servers, PHP-FPM, MariaDB and MySQL tuned for the workload you actually have, plus capacity planning so growth does not become an outage.

Migrations & upgrades

Server moves, OS upgrades like CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux using ELevate, and rebuilds, each with a rollback plan agreed before we start.

System administration

Software installs, configuration changes and the everyday requests that come with running a server.

AOD has been a vital part of our business over the past 7+ years. I can't say enough good things about this company.Michael and team are knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and I would not use any other company to manage my server.I've had horrible experiences in the past with subpar technical service, people not showing up for appointments for maintenance, and other general unprofessionalism.AOD has been hands down a worry-free experience from start to finish. I can lean on them for advice, will support without second-guessing mission obtained from them. Whether it's setting up a new server or providing maintenance or repairing any technical issues caused by our team, they have always been available done the job professionally and charged a reasonable fee for their much needed services.This review is way overdue, but I hope it will help someone to make the decision to use AOD's services. As long as I am in business with servers online, I will use this company without hesitation and recommend wholeheartedly to anyone having the need for their services. Their service is as good as it gets and everything you could ask for!

Michael has gone far and beyond. A hosting company failed my SSD raid and could not fix it but Michael able to resolve it in short amount of time. He is very talented and very knowledgeable. I am thinking moving all servers from current providers to his company. Do not hesitate to email or call Michael if you have any servers issues Linux or Windows.

No. We manage servers where they already run: bare metal, virtual machines, and cloud instances on AWS, Google Cloud and other providers.

Which Linux distributions do you support?

Mostly RHEL-compatible systems: AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CloudLinux and CentOS, including in-place CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux upgrades with ELevate. Ask us about anything else you run.
