Axanti handles the administration, security, optimization and troubleshooting of Linux servers, VPS and dedicated servers for SMBs, web agencies and organizations in Quebec and across Canada.
A web server requires much more than an initial setup.
System updates, security, backups, SSL certificates, PHP configuration, databases, DNS, email, disk space, performance and incidents all have to be followed over time.
For a business without its own system administrator, that responsibility often ends up shared between the developer, the hosting provider and various people who each handle only part of the problem.
Axanti can become your technical contact for this entire environment.
We can step in on a one-time basis to solve a specific problem, or take over the ongoing administration of your infrastructure.
We work mainly on the Linux infrastructure used to host websites, online stores, applications and Internet services.
Slow server, unreachable service, PHP error, unstable database, expired certificate, full disk, DNS or email problem: Axanti can analyze the situation and work on a clearly defined need.
A one-time intervention also works well for an upgrade, a configuration change, a migration or the preparation of a new environment.
Axanti can also take care of your server on a recurring basis.
The goal is then to keep a consistent, up-to-date and documented environment, reduce the risk of incidents and have a technical resource available when the infrastructure has to evolve.
The level of managed service is set according to your needs, your infrastructure and the responsibilities you want to hand over to us.
Already have a VPS or a dedicated server? Moving to Axanti is not necessarily required.
Depending on the environment and the access available, we can take over or support the administration of an existing server hosted with another provider. You keep your current infrastructure while adding the technical expertise needed to manage it.
If a migration becomes preferable for performance, cost, security or reliability reasons, we can also prepare and carry out the change.
Axanti works with the main components used in Linux hosting environments.
Configuration and maintenance of DirectAdmin, CustomBuild, PHP versions, PHP-FPM, Apache/Nginx, databases, DNS, certificates, email, backups and migrations.
DirectAdmin administration and managed servicesAdministration of cPanel/WHM servers, hosting accounts, web and email services, DNS, SSL certificates, updates, security and migrations.
Analysis and optimization of the web stack based on the hosted applications, their load, the versions in use and the resources available.
Changing servers or taking over an existing environment takes more than copying files.
Websites, applications, databases, PHP versions, scheduled tasks, email accounts, SSL certificates, DNS, dependencies and specific configurations all have to be taken into account.
Axanti can prepare the migration, validate the new environment, plan the switchover and keep service interruptions as short as possible.
We can also take over a server previously administered by another provider or by someone who is no longer available.
A slow website is not always caused by the website itself.
The problem can come from PHP, a database, a lack of memory, CPU saturation, storage, a misconfigured service, an automated task, a network issue or a combination of several factors.
We can review resources, system and application logs, the web stack configuration and the server behaviour in order to identify the cause before proposing a fix.
Not every business needs to hire a full-time system administrator.
Axanti can act as an external technical resource for organizations that have servers, websites or web applications but do not want to manage the infrastructure themselves.
We can also work with developers and web agencies that prefer to focus on their projects while Axanti takes care of Linux, hosting, migrations, DNS, email and server-related issues.
When the need goes beyond system administration, Axanti can also step in on web development.
You do not have your own server yet?
Axanti also offers managed VPS and managed dedicated servers for projects that need more resources, control or isolation than traditional web hosting.
We can help you choose the right environment and handle its setup, security and administration.
We discuss the server, the hosted applications, the problems you are facing and the responsibilities you want to hand over to Axanti.
When needed, we review the configuration and the current state of the environment before recommending changes.
You know what has to be fixed, migrated or taken over, and whether the work will be one-time or recurring.
Axanti performs the agreed work and can then keep administering the infrastructure at the support level you chose.
The questions most often asked before handing a Linux server over to Axanti.
Yes, depending on the environment and the access available. We can work on VPS and dedicated servers already hosted with another provider. A migration is only suggested when it makes sense.
We work mainly with Linux environments and the technologies used for web hosting: DirectAdmin, cPanel, Apache, Nginx, PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, DNS, SSL and email services.
Yes. We can review resources, logs, PHP configuration, databases, web services and the other elements that can cause slowdowns or instability.
Yes. Axanti can plan and carry out migrations covering websites, applications, databases, email accounts, DNS, certificates and web configurations.
Yes. System administration can be provided for a specific intervention or as recurring support.
Yes. We can start by reviewing the existing environment, identifying the important access and dependencies, then define the work required to take over its administration.
No. With system administration, we can work on an existing environment. With an Axanti managed VPS or dedicated server, the infrastructure itself is also part of the proposed solution.
Tell us about your environment and what you want to improve. Axanti can then determine whether a one-time intervention, a migration or recurring management is the most appropriate solution.
