Web Servers

I design, configure, and maintain web servers based on the LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP), both in my own cloud and on the infrastructure of any third-party providers.

The deployed servers are used for hosting websites and services of varying complexity — from corporate pages to high-load systems such as Magento.

Servers are also required for organizing VPN and Proxy services. These services are becoming increasingly in demand every day, while ready-made solutions are far from always capable of solving the required tasks and providing the necessary level of confidentiality.

A server must be not only reliable and fast, but also as cost-efficient as possible — that is, it should deliver the required performance for the lowest possible cost. I always pay close attention to this when renting resources, which is why I use providers that are the most reasonable in this respect.

I work with a “bare” Linux CLI without using control panels. This provides additional benefits in terms of efficiency, reliability, and overall satisfaction from the work. At the same time, I am not a Linux “fanatic” — I use Windows on my workstations and am frendly with Windows Server. However, as is well known, Linux is best suited for web servers.

Working directly with "low-levels" provides tangible advantages in implementing and optimizing business projects. A classic example is Magento (Adobe Commerce). It is the best platform for a serious online store, and it simply cannot even be installed without proper server preparation, nor will it work without ongoing maintenance and optimization — primarily load calculation. And everywhere, even on relatively simple CMSs like WordPress or Joomla, the ability to “look under the hood” saves time and effort and quite often helps in difficult situations.
