The problem

Generic hosting, hyperscalers, ticket-driven agencies: every standard road leads to a dead end.

The off-the-shelf options shift the problem instead of solving it. Here’s what really happens when your tech stack isn’t in expert hands.

// anti-pattern · cloud

Hyperscalers: pricey, generic, blind to your real workload.

AWS, Azure, GCP charge by instance, not by understanding your stack. Without an in-house FinOps team the bill stays unpredictable, and you get neither capacity planning nor fine-grained tuning. Cost/performance worse than a well-tuned dedicated VPS. And you keep paying the gap.

// anti-pattern · hosting

Traditional hosting: shared, interchangeable, nobody’s.

Hundreds of sites packed onto the same server, and behind the support desk a rotating cast of operators who never really know your stack. No continuity of person, no real understanding, no strategic guidance. When something breaks you start over every single time.

// anti-pattern · ops

Operations on sight: no proactive monitoring, no real pipeline.

Without predictive alerting, continuous log analysis and a real CI/CD, every problem reaches you only when a customer calls. Errors pile up in logs and nobody reads them, regressions slip into production, rollbacks are manual maneuvers under stress. Stability by sheer luck.

// anti-pattern · perf

Performance slips away, month after month.

Response times, slow queries, sudden traffic peaks, Core Web Vitals on the slide: you collect Real User Monitoring data, your provider doesn’t look at it. They know how to answer a ticket, not how to build a continuous tuning plan. You lose speed, you lose ranking. And you keep paying for not having one.

The solution

One product, four pillars, one team that owns your stack.

Tech Performance is not hosting. It’s proprietary technology + a managed-services team: tailor-made infrastructure, continuous optimisation, security and orchestrated updates. Modular from a single site to an HA cluster.

01 / Infrastructure Management

Tailor-made infrastructure, sized to your project.

No shared hosting, no hyperscaler bill. Dedicated cloud VPS with guaranteed resources, sized to your real traffic. When needed, we scale to a Proxmox HA cluster with automatic failover, but only if the project really requires it.

→Dedicated VPS → HA cluster, same squad.
→LEMP for editorial workloads, Kubernetes on demand for APIs and backends.
→EU datacenters, DNS and routing included, no cross-border transfer.

02 / Continuous Updates

OS, web server, applications: orchestrated updates without interruption.

Optimised LEMP stack (Linux + Nginx + MySQL + PHP). Application, plugins, security patches, operating system: every layer is updated in an agreed window with tested rollback. You no longer think about who and when has to do what.

→OS and web server patches, weekly.
→WordPress core + plugins, controlled deploy.
→Zero-downtime CI/CD where applicable.

03 / Performance & Operations

End-to-end tuning, h24 monitoring and intervention within an hour.

Observability stack with Prometheus + Grafana + Loki: dashboards, centralised logs, predictive alerting on anomalies. We optimise the whole stack: database, cache, application, CDN, assets. Core Web Vitals in the green zone as a natural consequence. H24/7 monitoring with multi-channel alerts (email, app, phone call) and intervention guaranteed within one hour during business hours. The call is always with an SRE, not with a first-level dispatcher.

→Iterative DB, cache and application tuning.
→Quarterly capacity planning, no surprises on peaks.
→Intervention within 1h, direct escalation to SRE.

How it works

Three steps. A team that actually follows you, from the first audit to day-to-day.

From the initial audit to set & forget in a few weeks. No rewrites, no lock-in, no end-of-month surprises.

Audit & strategy

We analyse stack, traffic, plugins, critical dependencies and business goals. We decide together on the strategy: single VPS, multi-site on shared resources, HA cluster. Technical report with cost estimate.

~ 1 week

Setup & migration

Provisioning of the new environment, data replication, parallel testing, article archive and SEO preserved. Cutover in an agreed window, zero-downtime when possible. Single site in 5–7 days, multi-site network in 2–3 weeks, HA cluster up to 30 days.

single site 5–7d · network 2–3w · HA cluster up to 30d

Set & forget

h24 monitoring, intervention within 1h, orchestrated updates, verified restore, proactive decisions. You work on your product, we keep your tech stack in expert hands.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The questions we get asked before signing. If yours isn’t here, write to us: we reply the same day.

Ask an architect

What SLA do you offer?

Historical uptime measured above 99.9% across the portfolio. Typical contractual SLA: 99.9% for Editorial and Network, scalable up to 99.99%/99.999% with HA cluster. Metrics are concrete (uptime, error budget, intervention time) and verifiable at any time.

How do you handle security?

iptables firewall, fail2ban anti brute-force, TLS 1.3 by default, CIS-aligned hardening, periodic vulnerability scans. Daily incremental backups offsite (S3-compatible) with customisable retention and tested restore. For enterprise tiers we add application WAF (ModSecurity + OWASP CRS) and edge WAF.

Do you provide h24 support?

H24/7 monitoring is included in all fees with multi-channel alerts (email, app, phone call). Intervention guaranteed within 1 hour during business hours (Mon–Fri 9–6 CET); for Network and HA tiers we extend the intervention to h24/7 with an agreed escalation policy. The call is always with an SRE, not with a first-level dispatcher.

How long does it take to migrate my site to Tech Performance?

Single site in 5–7 working days, multi-site network in 2–3 weeks, HA cluster up to 30 days. Counts from acceptance. We coordinate the cutover with the newsroom/team to preserve the archive, SEO ranking and zero-downtime when possible.

Can I leave? Are you locking me in?

No. The stack is entirely mainstream open-source (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP, Ansible, Prometheus). On exit we hand over the Ansible playbooks, complete infrastructure documentation and full data snapshots, plus engineer assistance up to cutover. No extra fee for the handover. 1–3 months termination notice depending on the tier. Not a happy goodbye, but not a leash either.

How much does it cost?

Starting from ~€250/year for a local outlet (Editorial), ~€900/month for a multi-site network at millions of views/month (Network), ~€2,000/month for a mission-critical HA cluster. One-off setup + recurring fee, server and storage included. Concrete numbers after the 30-minute audit, no black-box quote.
