You work hard to get your website to work well. Remember how hard it was to get it to render correctly in all of the supported browsers? Or how hard you worked to solve that really elusive bug? We can help.

Dedicated Virtual Server

Get your own virtual server with Ubuntu Server LTS installed and configured for security

SSH access to your server. Kohana HMVC setup and maintenance (latest production ready version) is available, with help on demand for Kohana. The server is expertly built according to your development needs.

Tools to Make Life Easier

Development tools streamline and automate time-consulting processes, and training to use them.

Security and Automated Backups

A secure and backed-up server safeguards your work. The server patch is installed on a regular basis for continued security. Databases, source code control, and selected directories are backed up in regular cycles to Amazon S2 (encrypted).

Tracking

Tracking with Trac keeps your project organized and lets your clients see your day-to-day progress.

Source Control

Every development project needs version control. When a file gets clobbered by an inadvertent change from another developer or you get hacked and need to restore your site, version control is there to help. Does version control cause extra work? Definitely not. New procedures are changes, but you are almost certain to spend less time overall. When you change a file, one command is all it takes to check in your changes. And when you are ready to push to your production server, one command updates all your source changes in a few seconds. (We provide the integration between Trac and Git, and the training and support, and you choose your own Git hosting provider.)

DocuWiki

A DocuWiki is installed and maintained, making it easy to document your processes or that development solution it took you days to figure out.
