Web Hosting
Small business and personal sites hosted on a hardened Linux VPS — Nginx, TLS via Let's Encrypt, and a security posture we hold ourselves to on this very site (see our Security page and the hardening case study). Good fit for static sites, small dynamic apps (PHP or Python/Flask), and businesses that want someone who actually answers the phone when something breaks.
Good For
- · Small business marketing sites and landing pages
- · Internal tools and lightweight web apps
- · Sites that need a real person maintaining them, not a ticket queue
Pricing is scoped per site — tell us what you need on the request form and we'll quote it honestly.
Private Cloud Backup & Remote File Storage
We run a self-hosted homelab with 8TB of local storage capacity, tied together over a mesh VPN (the same WireGuard-based approach documented in our home lab case study). We offer that capacity as private, encrypted-in-transit backup for a company's critical files — documents, databases, configs, whatever you can't afford to lose.
Your data leaves your office over a dedicated mesh VPN tunnel and lands on storage that isn't shared with anyone else's backup job. You decide what gets backed up, how often, and how long it's kept — we build the schedule around your answer, not a template.
Straight Talk On What This Is
This is a self-hosted, home-network-backed service, not a hyperscale datacenter product. We're upfront about that because it matters to your decision:
- · No 24/7 uptime SLA, and no redundant power/network guarantees — we don't sell promises we can't back
- · What you get instead: a smaller, more responsive operation where the person who built your backup plan is the person you call when you need something changed
- · Best fit for companies whose current backup situation is "we don't really have one," not ones already running enterprise DR contracts
How It Works
- You tell us what you need backed up and how (the form below)
- We come back with a concrete plan: schedule, retention, and price
- We set up a secure mesh VPN link between your office and our storage
- Backups run on schedule; you get confirmation and can request a restore any time
Open-Source Enterprise Networking
A full corporate network stack — edge firewall, VPN, and intrusion detection — built entirely on open-source infrastructure and proven on a real production network. See the full build, including the mistakes we caught along the way, in the Open-Source Enterprise Networking case study.
OPNsense at the edge, WireGuard for road-warrior VPN access, Suricata running inline with 7,700+ live IDS rules, and DNS-layer filtering with no separate appliance to keep alive. Optional open-source directory services (Samba4 AD DC or FreeIPA) round it out for organizations that want to break the Windows Server licensing dependency across the whole stack, not just the network layer.
Straight Talk On What's Proven vs. Offered
The firewall, VPN, and IDS pieces are real, running production infrastructure — not a lab demo. Directory services is different:
- · Every Active Directory domain controller in our project history has been proprietary Windows Server, not open-source
- · Samba4/FreeIPA directory services is a capability we can architect and deploy on request — offered honestly as that, not claimed as an already-shipped case study
- · Best fit for organizations ready to evaluate breaking the Windows Server licensing dependency, not ones who need a drop-in AD replacement overnight
Why Lower Licensing Cost
A commercial UTM plus a Windows Server licensing stack scales cost with every seat and every appliance renewal. OPNsense, WireGuard, and Suricata scale with hardware, not license count — the same reason this exact stack secures technetguy.site itself.
Other Remote Services
Backup and hosting are the headline offers, but most of what we do day-to-day is remote infrastructure and network work — the same categories covered on the rest of this site, available as paid engagements.
Cloud & VPS Management
Provisioning, reverse proxy setup, and ongoing maintenance for cloud VMs and VPS hosting — see our cloud fleet case study for proof.
SECURITYSecurity Hardening Audits
SSH hardening, exposed-credential audits, firewall and access-control review — the same pass we ran on this site.
NETWORKINGRemote Networking Support
VPN rollouts for distributed teams, DNS filtering, and network troubleshooting handled remotely.
CUSTOM SOFTWARECustom Business Apps
We built a full invoicing and finance system from scratch — if you need internal tooling, we can build it.
AI-ASSISTEDAI-Assisted Delivery
We use AI coding agents in our own workflow — and can help you evaluate where that fits in yours.
