In detail.
DNS and domains
Your domain name is the front door to your website and your email. We register and renew domains, manage transfers and keep DNS records correct: A, CNAME, MX and TXT, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC for email. Redundant nameservers and sensible TTLs keep it fast and available.
VPN
A VPN gives remote staff an encrypted path to company systems. We set up remote access and site-to-site VPNs, manage who can connect and remove access the day someone leaves.
Load balancing
Load balancing spreads traffic across servers so one busy machine does not take a service down. We configure health checks, failover routing and SSL termination, with monitoring on top.
