Managed infrastructure for solo SaaS founders

Your servers stay up.
You stay out of the pager.

Monitoring, patching, tested backups, and incident response for founders who don't have the time — or the £150k a year — for a dedicated DevOps hire.

Fixed monthly price. No hourly surprises. Cancel anytime.

A full-time DevOps hire runs £150,000+ a year. Most solo founders need a fraction of that attention — reliably delivered.

What's included

The unglamorous work that keeps a SaaS product alive

Not feature development. Not app debugging. The infrastructure layer, done properly and proactively.

Monitoring

Round-the-clock alerting

Uptime, resource usage, and error-rate monitoring on every server, with alerts routed before your users notice.

Security

Patching and hardening

OS and security patches applied on a defined cadence, SSH locked to keys only, firewall rules kept current.

Backups

Tested restores, not just backups

Automated backups to off-site storage, with restore tests logged — so "we have backups" is actually true.

Response

Incident response

When something breaks, it gets fixed by someone who already knows your setup — not a ticket queue.

Pricing

Fixed monthly plans. Upgrade as you grow.

No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Application-level work is always quoted separately, so scope stays clean.

How it works

Three steps, starting with a real look at your setup

01

Free health check

A genuine review of your current setup — what's solid, what's fragile, what would actually break first.

02

Setup & hardening

Monitoring, backups, and security put in place using repeatable, documented configuration — not one-off fixes.

03

Ongoing care

Monthly reporting, proactive patching, and a real person to call when something breaks.

Who's behind this

Built by a sysadmin who's actually run production infrastructure — not a ticket queue.

ServerHands is run directly by the person doing the work: hands-on Linux systems administration, web infrastructure, and a habit of writing clearly about what breaks and why. No account managers, no outsourced tiers — the person who sets up your monitoring is the person who answers when it fires.
