Linux Server Consulting

A second opinion before you commit to anything.

Not troubleshooting, not ongoing management — advice, before you buy a server, migrate one, or redesign how your infrastructure works.

When Consulting Is What You Actually Need

Questions worth answering before you spend money

VPS or dedicated?which provider fits the workload? how much RAM do we actually need?is our current server correctly sized? which control panel makes sense?should we migrate or optimise what we have? is our backup strategy actually sound?how should we architect for growth?
How It Works

A conversation, then a written recommendation

1

Tell Us the Situation

What you’re running now (if anything), what you’re trying to achieve, and what’s actually driving the decision.

2

We Review the Real Workload

Traffic, site or application count, database size, growth trajectory — actual numbers where you have them, not assumptions.

3

A Written Recommendation

Options with real trade-offs — cost, risk, effort — not a single “just buy this” answer with no reasoning shown.

4

You Decide What Happens Next

Implement it yourself, hand it to your own team, or have DirektSupport carry it out — no obligation either way.

Independent by Design

No infrastructure to sell you

We’re not a hosting provider and don’t earn anything from steering you toward a bigger server, a specific provider, or a particular control panel. If your current setup is already right for your workload, that’s the recommendation.

The point of consulting is a second opinion you can trust — which only works if it’s actually independent.

Typical Engagements

Common reasons people book a consultation

Before Buying

Sizing a new server correctly the first time, instead of guessing and re-provisioning in three months.

Before Migrating

A plan for moving servers, providers or control panels — with the risks and downsides identified upfront.

Architecture Review

An outside look at an existing setup — is it actually sound, or has it just never caused a visible problem yet?
