What you get with this Offer
I will set up and configure a production-ready LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) or LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) stack on your VPS or dedicated server — covering OS hardening, web server installation and configuration, database setup, PHP-FPM configuration, SSL certificate installation with Let's Encrypt, firewall rules with UFW or firewalld, fail2ban for brute-force protection, and automated security updates. A web server configured for production is qualitatively different from one that simply has the packages installed; performance tuning, security hardening, and proper process management make the difference between a server that handles real traffic reliably and one that degrades or fails under load.
The setup covers initial server hardening (SSH key authentication, disable root login, change default SSH port), UFW or firewalld rules permitting only required ports, Apache or Nginx virtual host configuration for your domain, MySQL or MariaDB installation with secure configuration and a dedicated application database user, PHP-FPM pool configuration with appropriate resource limits, Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal cron, fail2ban rules for SSH and web, and a server configuration document recording every decision made.
This service suits developers, agencies, and businesses deploying a web application, WordPress installation, or custom PHP application to a fresh VPS who want the server configured to production standards rather than following a tutorial that skips security and performance configuration.
