SERVER CONFIGURATION

Business server configuration and hardening

A new server, an inherited server with no documentation or an audit before a customer’s questionnaire: we configure it, secure it and give you everything in writing.

AT A GLANCE

What we do when we configure a server

UreTech installs and hardens Linux and Windows servers for businesses, in the cloud (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or a VPS in an EU data centre) or in the office. It is project work: at the end the server is updated, protected, backed up and monitored, and you have the documentation.

If you then want someone to look after it over time, move on to a managed VPS or scheduled maintenance.

When you need it

The four situations we are called in for most often.

A new server to start

You have bought or rented a server and want to start with a secure configuration, not the factory one.

An inherited server

Someone who has left installed it. Nobody knows what runs on it and the passwords are on a sheet of paper.

A customer’s questionnaire

An important customer asks how you protect access, backups and updates. You need a documented answer.

Slow or unstable server

Frequent reboots, an almost full disk, services that stop for no obvious reason.

CHECKLIST

Our hardening checklist

Every server we configure goes through these checks. We adapt them to the operating system and to what has to run on it.

  • Operating system and service updates, with automatic security patches where it makes sense.
  • Administrative access with personal keys or two-factor authentication; no shared accounts.
  • Firewall with only the necessary ports open; no remote desktop exposed to the internet.
  • Protection against repeated login attempts (fail2ban or the Windows equivalent).
  • Unused services disabled, minimum permissions for users and applications.
  • Valid SSL certificates with automatic renewal.
  • Automatic backups with an off-server copy and a restore test.
  • Monitoring of resources, services and expiry dates, with alerts.
  • Logs kept and searchable in case of an incident.
  • Documentation: what is installed, how to access it, what to do if it fails.

What we configure

The technologies we work with every day.

Web servers

Nginx, Apache and LiteSpeed for websites, shops and applications.

Databases

MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL, with consistent backups and separate users.

Containers

Docker and, where it is really needed, Kubernetes for custom applications.

Cloud

AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and VPS in EU data centres.

Network and access

Firewalls, VPN for people working off-site, 2FA access.

Office servers

Physical servers, NAS and UPS units: selection, installation and configuration.

HANDOVER

What we hand over

  • A document with architecture, installed services and the choices made, written so another engineer can read it.
  • Credentials in an encrypted vault, in your name.
  • A failure procedure: who to call, where the backups are, how to restore.
  • The list of security measures applied, useful for answering customer questionnaires and NIS2-related requests from your clients.

It is project work and the quote comes after the free review. If you want the server looked after continuously, there is the managed VPS or scheduled systems maintenance. For the full picture of our cloud services see managed EU cloud, with an example in the managed cloud scenario for an e-commerce business.

How we work

Four steps to a configured, documented server.

1

Review

What the server must do, who uses it, where it sits. For an existing server: inventory and health check.

2

Written proposal

What we do, in what order, what it costs, whether the service has to stop and when.

3

Configuration

We work in an agreed window. For production servers we take a full backup first.

4

Test and handover

We check services, backups and access with you, then hand over the documentation.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequent questions about server configuration.

Yes, both Windows Server and Linux. The security measures are the same; the tools change.
Yes, it is one of the most common cases. First we take an inventory and a full backup, then we work through it step by step.
For some operations, briefly. We do them in an agreed window, usually in the evening or at the weekend.
Yes: servers, NAS and UPS units. We tell you what you really need and what is better moved to the cloud.
It depends on what has to run and the starting point. After the free review you receive a project quote.
Within one business day, Monday to Friday, 9:00-12:30 and 14:00-20:00 (Italian time).
