Root access. Personal administration. Security baked in from the start. When something breaks at 2am, the person who picks up the phone is also the person with root — not a support ticket queue.
Shared hosting companies manage thousands of sites on the same servers. When something breaks, you contact support. Support contacts a technician. The technician doesn't know your site. The problem takes days.
I host roughly 30 active client sites on infrastructure I manage personally — DirectAdmin on Linux, tuned for WordPress. I know every site on my servers. When something goes wrong, I know what it is before you finish typing the email.
I also often built the site. That means I understand your setup, your plugins, your custom code, and your edge cases. No handoff, no finger-pointing between your host and your developer.
DirectAdmin on Debian/Ubuntu. Currently consolidating to high-performance KVM VPS with 48 cores and 48GB RAM. Built for WordPress, not shared with random strangers.
Each client gets their own PHP-FPM pool, tuned to their site's needs. No resource contention. One site's traffic surge doesn't affect yours.
ConfigServer Security & Firewall configured and monitored personally. Apache hardened against common attack vectors. Bot mitigation. The security isn't a checkbox — it's the foundation.
MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC — the whole stack. I've run my own BIND servers. DNS problems get solved fast because I understand every layer.
Automated renewal, properly configured. I also handle post-quantum cryptography and custom certificate setups for clients with specific compliance requirements.
Not just a server. A service. Everything that keeps your site up, fast, and safe — handled.
Updates applied carefully, not automatically. I review what's changing and catch conflicts before they break your site.
Multiple offsite backup repositories across different geographic locations. Not just "we have backups" — backups that actually work when you need them.
External ping monitoring from a remote VPS. I know your site is down before you do.
MySQL tuning with MySQLTuner, caching configuration, PHP-FPM pool optimization. Slow sites get found and fixed at the server level, not just the plugin level.
Site hacked? Down at 2am? I respond. Not a ticket system — me, personally, with root access and 20 years of experience diagnosing exactly these problems.
SPF, DKIM, DMARC configured correctly. Google Workspace setup on custom domains. If your email is going to spam, I can find out why and fix it.
File integrity monitoring, failed login tracking, malware scanning. Forensic analysis and full remediation if something gets through.
Bad bots consume bandwidth and slow sites down. I block them at the server level — not just with a plugin.
Email me. I respond within the hour, usually faster. No ticket system, no offshore support queue, no "we'll look into it."
I run my hosting under the securitywebhost.com brand because the name says what matters most. Most shared hosting treats security as a feature you pay extra for. I treat it as the baseline.
I've been hired to perform security audits using penetration testing tools. I know how WordPress sites get compromised because I've compromised them on purpose — with permission — to show clients exactly where they were exposed. That knowledge is built into how I configure every server I run.
My hosting brand. The name is the philosophy — security first, everything else second.
Visit securitywebhost.comI run three NAS units at home — 8-bay, 4-bay, and 2-bay. Many terabytes of personal storage, all managed and maintained. When I talk about backup strategy, I'm not reading from a best practices document.
Client sites are backed up to multiple offsite locations across different geographic regions. The goal isn't just "we have a backup" — it's having a backup you can actually restore from, quickly, when everything else has gone wrong.
Files and database, every day. Retained for rolling windows so you can go back further than yesterday.
Not stored on the same server as your site. Geographically distributed so a single data centre event doesn't take out your backups and your site simultaneously.
A backup nobody has tested is a backup nobody trusts. Restoration procedures are verified, not assumed.
Before any major update or change, a fresh backup is taken. Rolling back is always an option.
Not for everyone. For organizations that need their site to actually work.
You need reliability, security, and someone who won't charge enterprise rates. I understand non-profit budgets and have worked with 10+ organizations.
Your booking system and member portal need to be up. Your clients don't have patience for downtime. Neither do I.
WooCommerce sites on my servers get tuned specifically for transaction performance. A slow checkout costs you sales.
Lawyers, consultants, healthcare providers — people whose online presence is their credibility, and whose data requires careful handling.
I manage 13+ sites for one agency client. White-label arrangements available for agencies who need reliable infrastructure for their clients.
If your current host makes you wait 48 hours for a response, doesn't know what PHP-FPM is, or has never heard of DKIM — you're in the wrong place. Let's fix that.
I handle the migration — files, database, DNS, email configuration, SSL. Zero downtime migrations are standard. If you sign a one-year managed hosting agreement, I'll give you the first two months free. I'm not worried about offering that because I know what happens when people experience the difference.
"I've worked with Jer for years on projects most developers would find overwhelming. He handles it all — fast, clear, and without drama. When I needed someone for my own site, the decision took about five seconds."
"Of all the many hats a personal trainer or gym owner has to wear, fussing over how to make, manage, or update a website can feel like a full-time job. Jer and I have been working together for several years, and I don't know what I would have done without him. He's professional, he's efficient, he doesn't blow smoke up your 'you know where', and he doesn't make you feel like you need to take out a second mortgage to afford him. If you're on the fence, here's your opportunity to hop off of it."
"Jer is incredible to work with, he's skilled, knowledgeable, and has helped bring ideas for my website and business to life that makes my job infinitely easier. His communication skills are second to none. I highly recommend him!"
"Working with Jeremy has been a breath of fresh air. He communicates clearly, solves problems quickly, and makes complex technology feel manageable. I highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful tech support."
