For VPS, Dedicated and Cloud Servers

Server Management Services

You run your business. We take care of your server. SiteGuarding keeps your Linux or Windows server secure, fast and up to date, so you do not have to worry about downtime, hacks or slow websites.

Your server stays with your hosting provider. We monitor it around the clock, install updates, harden security and fix problems before they affect your websites and email. Start with a free server audit and a clear report.

Why Use Server Management

Stronger Security

A firewall, brute-force protection, malware scanning and timely security updates keep attackers out.

For anyone who has a server but not the time or the team to look after it.

Businesses Without an IT Team

You have a server but nobody to take care of it. We become your server team.

Online Stores

Every minute of downtime costs sales. We keep your store fast, secure and online.

Web Agencies and Developers

Hand off server work to us and spend your time on client projects and code.

SaaS and Busy Websites

Stable, well-tuned servers for applications and websites with steady traffic.

Careful Changes

We save a copy of every file before we change it and check your websites afterwards, so updates do not turn into outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our server management service.

Do you sell or rent servers?

No. We manage the server you already have. It stays with your hosting provider, and we take care of everything on it: security, updates, monitoring and support.

Which hosting providers do you work with?

Any provider that gives you administrator access, such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, OVHcloud, Linode and Vultr, as well as your own hardware in a data center.

Do you manage Windows servers?

Yes. We work with Linux servers (AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CloudLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat and others) and Windows servers, with or without a control panel such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin.

What does "managed server" mean?

A managed server is one that a team of experts looks after for you. We handle security, updates, monitoring and troubleshooting, so you do not need your own system administrator.

What is included in the free audit?

We review the security, updates, performance and configuration of your server and send you a clear report with what to fix first. The audit is free, with no obligation to order.

What access do you need?

Administrator access to your server: SSH for Linux or remote desktop for Windows, and access to your control panel if you use one. For Linux we recommend secure key-based access and can set it up for you.

How quickly do you respond?

We work 24/7. Critical issues, such as a server that is down or hacked, are handled first, at any time of the day.

Are migration and malware cleanup included?

Yes, with a Server Management plan paid for at least 3 months. We move websites, databases and email from your old server or host with minimal downtime, and we clean up a hacked server and close the hole the attackers used.

Do you provide backups?

We help you plan and set up a backup system that fits your server, for example with the backup tools of your control panel or with cloud storage, so your files, databases and email have a safe copy.

How does billing work?

Server Management costs $75 USD per month per server, billed every 3 months ($225). Pay for a year and save 15%: $765 USD per year. The minimum term is 3 months. If you have more than one server, contact us for an extra discount.
