Infrastructure · Linux Server Management

Put supported Linux servers under active management — wherever they run.

Neoground maintains Linux hosts in external data centers, cloud providers, offices, or existing environments: patching, monitoring, backup coordination, security baseline, resource review, and direct technical response.

The server remains where it is

Neoground works with the existing provider and infrastructure where the host is suitable. The management layer adds maintenance, observation, documentation, and a direct route for technical issues.

Server-management plans

A clear recurring package for supported Linux hosts.

EUR USD GBP

The plan is based on one operating system instance and a documented service scope. Complex application stacks or several tightly connected hosts may fit Managed Infrastructure better.

Defined Linux host

Managed Server

For a supported server with a straightforward service stack and normal business-hours operating requirements.

Management $349 per server, per month

System inventory and baseline
Routine package and security updates
Resource and availability monitoring
Backup-system coordination and checks
Direct technical support

Important production host Production standard

Production Server

For a host carrying several services or a more important production workload requiring closer review.

Management $595 per server, per month

Managed Fleet

For a set of servers requiring shared standards, central observation, coordinated updates, and fleet-level context.

Pricing Custom based on hosts and service topology

Fleet inventory and standards

Initial onboarding

A paid onboarding review is required before management begins. Unsupported systems, unknown access, broken backups, accumulated security issues, or major cleanup are quoted separately.

Provider-independent operations

A management layer around the server you already have.

Neoground introduces a consistent baseline for access, maintenance, monitoring, backups, documentation, and response without forcing an immediate provider migration.

Provider and host

The existing dedicated server, VM, cloud instance, or suitable on-premises Linux system.

Location

Operating-system baseline

Supported distribution, controlled access, package policy, firewalling, time, storage, and system services.

System

Workload services

Web stack, databases, daemons, scheduled jobs, and other agreed production components.

Workload

Management layer

Inventory, monitoring, logs, maintenance, backups, review, documentation, and direct support.

Care

Operating layer Neoground server management

Automated inventory, checks, update signals, and log summaries reduce repetition. Maintenance windows, production changes, and recovery decisions remain reviewed.

The provider supplies the host. Neoground supplies the operating discipline around it.

This is useful when the server location or contract should remain unchanged but the organization no longer wants maintenance to depend on occasional manual attention.

Where several servers form one application topology, the engagement can move into Managed Infrastructure for stronger fleet and dependency ownership.

Provider-neutral access and documentation
Supported distributions and explicit patch policy
Resource, availability, and service observation
Backup ownership and verification made clear
Escalation to migration or modernization when the host is no longer suitable

View current service status

Server-management coverage

The recurring host work no longer depends on memory.

The exact service list is documented during onboarding.

Access

Users and administration

SSH access, privilege boundaries, administrative users, keys, and operating responsibilities reviewed and documented.

Maintenance

System and package updates

Supported Linux and agreed services maintained through controlled update and restart routines.

Security

Host baseline

Firewalling, exposed services, certificates, package state, access patterns, and obvious risks reviewed.

Visibility

Resources and availability

CPU, memory, disk, filesystem, load, service availability, and relevant logs monitored.

Continuity

Backup coordination

Existing backup systems reviewed or established, with retention, location, verification, and restore responsibility made explicit.

Response

Direct technical route

Neoground investigates host-level issues and coordinates provider or application escalation when the cause sits elsewhere.

Takeover and ongoing care

Start by making the server understandable.

Before recurring management begins, Neoground needs a reliable view of access, operating system, services, data, backups, exposure, provider constraints, and current risk.

The onboarding review distinguishes routine management from accumulated repair work. That keeps the monthly plan predictable and prevents unknown legacy issues from being silently accepted.

When the server is unsupported, overloaded, insecure, or structurally unsuitable, Neoground will recommend migration or modernization rather than pretending management alone resolves it.

Inventory

Document the host, provider, distribution, storage, network, services, users, jobs, and important data.

Risk baseline

Identify unsupported software, exposure, missing backups, capacity pressure, and unclear ownership.

Management plan

Define patching, monitoring, maintenance windows, backup responsibility, and escalation.

Remediation

Complete required cleanup or migration before the stable recurring package begins.

Provider-independent Linux server connected to secure access, patching, monitoring, backup verification, and technical response — Managed Linux host **Access · maintain · observe · protect**

From takeover to routine management

Establish the baseline, then keep the host inside it.

The service starts with discovery and required remediation rather than accepting an unknown server blindly.

01

Inspect

Inventory the server

Review provider, hardware or VM, distribution, users, services, data, backups, network, jobs, and current alerts.
02

Remediate

Resolve onboarding risks

Update, harden, clean up access, repair monitoring or backups, and document remaining constraints.
03

Manage

Run the maintenance cycle

Perform agreed patching, checks, capacity review, backup verification, and service observation.
04

Escalate

Coordinate the right response

Investigate host problems and involve the provider, software owner, or migration path when the issue crosses boundaries.

Server-management automation Continuous signals support a controlled maintenance cycle.

Monitoring, inventory, update signals, certificate checks, and backup verification are automated where possible. Restarts, upgrades, and production remediation remain reviewed.

Service boundary

Host management remains distinct from application ownership.

The agreement documents which services are managed and where provider, application, database, or platform responsibilities begin.

FAQ

Linux server-management details.

Suitability is confirmed through onboarding before recurring responsibility begins.

Which Linux distributions can you manage?

Neoground prefers current supported Debian or Ubuntu server environments and can assess comparable mainstream Linux distributions.

Unsupported or heavily customized systems may require migration or a separate remediation scope.

Can the server stay with my current provider?

Yes, provided the environment offers suitable access, reliability, backup options, and administrative control.

Do you manage the application as well?

The base service manages the host and agreed system services.

Application maintenance, deployments, databases, and product operation can be added or moved into another infrastructure service.

What happens when the provider has an outage?

Neoground investigates the available signals, confirms the likely boundary, and coordinates the provider escalation.

Provider uptime and physical recovery remain subject to the external provider unless a broader redundancy design exists.
