Mailu and SMTP relay
Self-hosted mailboxes with webmail, a separate relay for application mail, and the DNS, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set up before the first message goes out.
Getting started
From sign-up to a first site in production
Sign up, choose a plan on the pricing page and open the client panel. From there you attach your domain, publish the DNS records, enable a Let's Encrypt certificate and launch your first site or container. VPS and dedicated servers arrive with root access and the SSH public key you supplied when you ordered. If you would rather not do the first setup alone, it is a sensible use of your included hours.
Server security guide
Questions and answers with commands you can run
The security guide is organised around the questions teams ask before an audit or after an incident: why node_modules should not stay on a production server, how to lock down SSH, which firewall rules matter first, what a 3-2-1 backup looks like in practice, how to serve HTTPS with HSTS and when a WAF earns its place. Each question has a page of its own with a short answer, worked examples and commands.
Included engineering hours
How DevOps, CyberSecurity and programming hours work
Hours are part of the subscription: 1 h per month from cPanel Advanced upward, 1–8 h on VPS, 5–10 h on dedicated servers depending on the plan, and 10 h on GPU servers. Open the client panel, choose DevOps services, describe the task and propose a deadline; the team then delivers. Hours are counted per calendar month and are not carried over. Work beyond the quota is accepted and billed separately.
Mailu and SMTP relay
Mail on your own domain, with DNS that passes the filters
This guide separates two jobs. Mailu hosts the mailboxes your people use, while an SMTP relay carries the automated mail your applications send, such as invoices and alerts. It then walks through the DNS records that decide delivery (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and reverse DNS), with an example zone and advice on reading your sending reputation.
Migration planned together
Moving from another provider with minimal downtime
Migration is free and planned with you. We list the sites, databases and mailboxes, copy the data, test on a temporary domain and change DNS last, using a short TTL so that traffic and mail follow without a gap. On cPanel we use account transfer; on VPS and dedicated servers we use rsync and snapshots.
Backup and restore
Daily copies, off-site copies and tested restores
cPanel plans include a daily backup. On VPS and dedicated servers we define the retention policy, the off-site copies and the encryption together with you. The recommended baseline is the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, two media, one off-site) plus a scheduled test restore, because a backup that has never been restored is only a hope.
Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD
Containers and delivery pipelines in production
The service pages describe production container practice: minimal images built in CI, non-root users, isolated networks, secrets kept out of images, blue-green or canary rollouts, and observability with Grafana, Prometheus and Loki. Every topic has its own page listing the steps and the technologies involved.
Infrastructure and compliance
EU datacentres, DDoS protection and GDPR
Servers run in a European Union datacentre in Frankfurt, on AMD Ryzen/EPYC and Intel Core/Xeon hardware with DDR4/DDR5 memory (ECC on the server tiers) and NVMe storage. L3/L4 DDoS protection is included. We sign an Article 28 GDPR data processing agreement, use standard contractual clauses where data leaves the EEA and work in alignment with ISO 27001. Local VAT is shown separately on every invoice.
