# DevOps & Hosting

> Unified hosting across WHM, cPanel, ICDSoft and ResellerClub, with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and server management for sites we build or inherit.

## We built one tool because three dashboards waste time

Managing hosting across multiple providers means logging into different dashboards, learning different APIs, and repeating the same tasks differently. That context-switching slows every deployment and makes simple changes risky.

We built a unified hosting CLI: a Node.js tool with provider-specific API adapters that abstracts the differences between providers into a single interface. DNS management, SSL certificate provisioning, backup operations, account creation, resource monitoring. One command set, regardless of the underlying provider. The tool handles authentication, API differences, and provider-specific quirks so our team does not have to context-switch between dashboards.

## CI/CD pipelines that match your stack

We set up deployment pipelines based on what your project needs.

- **Azure DevOps** for enterprise .NET platforms with complex build steps, approval gates, and environment promotion
- **GitHub Actions** for open-source and startup projects that need fast iteration
- **Docker** for applications that require consistent environments across development, staging and production

The goal is always the same: every merge to main triggers a tested, reproducible build. Production waits only on the approval gates you choose.

## Platform Deployments

Not every project needs a VPS.

- Static sites and serverless applications deploy to Vercel
- Backend services run on Railway
- WordPress sites sit on WP Engine or managed cPanel hosting
- Edge workers run on Cloudflare Workers

We match the deployment platform to the application architecture, not the other way around.

## Server Management for the Long Term

For projects that need dedicated infrastructure, we manage Ubuntu VPS instances and configure nginx reverse proxies. We also run PM2 for Node.js applications and Cloudflare tunnels, so access needs no exposed port. Server monitoring, resource alerts, security updates and backup verification are ongoing.

## What's Included

- **Hosting management:** Account provisioning, DNS, SSL, backups across WHM/cPanel, ICDSoft, ResellerClub
- **CI/CD pipelines:** Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, automated build/test/deploy workflows
- **Containerization:** Docker configuration, multi-stage builds, container orchestration
- **Platform deployments:** Vercel, Railway, WP Engine, Cloudflare Workers
- **VPS management:** Ubuntu server setup, security hardening, monitoring, updates
- **Process management:** PM2 configuration, nginx reverse proxy, Cloudflare tunnel setup
- **DNS and SSL:** Domain configuration, certificate provisioning, renewal automation
- **Backup management:** Automated backups, verification, disaster recovery planning

## Tech Stack

- **Hosting CLI:** Custom unified hosting tool (Node.js, provider-specific API adapters)
- **Azure DevOps:** Enterprise CI/CD, work items, repos, pipelines
- **GitHub Actions:** Workflow automation, testing, deployment
- **Docker:** Containerization, multi-stage builds
- **Vercel:** Frontend and full-stack deployments, serverless functions
- **Railway:** Backend service hosting, managed databases
- **Cloudflare:** DNS, CDN, tunnels, Workers, WAF
- **nginx:** Reverse proxy, load balancing, SSL termination
- **PM2:** Node.js process management, clustering, log management
- **Ubuntu / RamNode:** VPS hosting, server administration

## Who This Is For

- **Companies that need infrastructure managed after setup.** We keep managing it: monitoring, updates and incident response.
- **Agencies that want to offload hosting operations.** Your developers build features. We handle the servers, deployments, DNS, and SSL renewals.
- **Enterprises that need CI/CD pipeline setup and maintenance.** Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker. Configured for your workflow.

## Proof

- Custom unified hosting CLI managing accounts across 3 provider platforms through a single interface.
- CI/CD pipelines running in production for enterprise .NET platforms and startup products.
- VPS instances managed for 5+ years with automated monitoring and security updates.
