Beyond the Catalogue

Each hosting or service package is a bundle — DNS, SSL, backups, monitoring, automation, and more. The catalogue shows what’s most common, but the scope of what we can do is far broader.

If you only need one element, or if your project doesn’t quite fit the packages listed, just ask. Practical limits apply — not catalogue limits.

Overview

Practical, project-focused consulting for network and infrastructure—from clean starts to improving what’s already in place. We design resilient VLAN topologies, standardise builds across Windows and Linux, plan Proxmox clusters, and document onboarding/offboarding so future changes are repeatable.

How we work

Engagements are scoped up front and run in focused blocks. You get a single point of contact, plain-English decision notes, and handover that operators can follow. We keep client load small so work stays responsive and predictable.

Deliverables

  • Concise decision brief (options, trade-offs, constraints)
  • Target architecture and configuration standards
  • Implementation runbook with test and rollback steps
  • Operational docs: onboarding/offboarding, patching, backups
  • Handover session with next-step actions

Kick-off (typical)

  • Discovery: objectives, constraints, current topology
  • Baseline review: inventory, configs, risks
  • Plan: milestones, owners, acceptance criteria
  • Execution support as needed (pilot → rollout)

Billing is POA. Time-based work is logged in one-hour blocks unless otherwise agreed. For urgent break/fix incidents, see Emergency Support.

Support (Ad-hoc)

…

Help when you need it, no strings attached.

Ad-hoc support is for one-off fixes, small projects, or occasional help. You ask for time when you need it, without an ongoing plan. It suits teams with very light operational needs who want a clear, predictable cost for each piece of work.Without a standing arrangement, each request starts from cold: we confirm access, learn enough of your stack to act safely, and schedule work alongside existing commitments. That’s fair and transparent—but it can add a little delay compared with retained clients.If you only need help a few times a year, ad-hoc is efficient. If needs increase, costs and response time can exceed a retainer. Many emergencies we see relate to drift—missed updates, stale plugins, untested changes, unclear ownership—so if your change-rate grows, a small monthly plan can reduce risk and time to fix.Ad-hoc gives you senior engineering on tap for light tasks: DNS tweaks, mailbox adjustments, config checks, or small site fixes. Work is documented and changes are reversible. If your pattern becomes more regular, you can switch to a retainer for queue priority, smaller billing blocks, and a lower effective rate.Rates & Terms: £30 per 20-minute block. No included time. Scheduled around retained clients. Best for light, occasional tasks.If requests become regular or urgent, a small retainer lowers the rate and improves response time.
