The headaches you deal with every day

Most agencies and developers are one server crash away from a very bad night.

🌙 3am server alerts

Your phone buzzes at 3am. A client's site is down. You're the one who has to fix it.

🔓 Outdated & vulnerable

Your server hasn't been updated in months. You know it's a risk — but there's never enough time.

💾 Backups that might not work

You set up backups once and never checked them again. Are they actually running?

📧 Emails going to spam

SPF, DKIM or DMARC misconfigured — your clients' emails land in spam and you don't know why.

🐌 Server running slow or timing out

Pages take forever to load or the server stops responding entirely — losing clients and revenue every minute it's down.

Is this for you?

SysBalance is built for teams and individuals who need a server to just work — without becoming sysadmins themselves.

How SysBalance Works

What's included in the free audit

No server access required. I run external scans and deliver a full written report within 48 hours — you keep it regardless.

🔍

Port Scan

All publicly exposed ports and services — FTP, SSH, HTTP, cPanel, WHM, MySQL and more. Identifies what attackers can see.

🔒

SSL/TLS Analysis

🛡️

Security Headers Check

Missing headers that expose your sites to clickjacking, XSS and MIME attacks — HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options and more.

📋

CVE Vulnerability Scan

Known vulnerabilities in your server software cross-referenced against public CVE databases. Identifies critical unpatched issues.

🌐

IP Reputation & Blacklists

Whether your server IP is listed on spam or malware blacklists — affecting email deliverability and search rankings.

📧

Email Deliverability Check

SPF, DKIM and DMARC records verification — identifying why your emails may be landing in spam instead of inbox.

🛡️

Cancel anytime — no questions asked

I don't believe in annual contracts or lock-in periods. If you're not satisfied with the service, you can cancel at any time. I keep clients by delivering results — not by trapping them in contracts.

Frequently asked

Do I need to switch hosting providers?
No. I work with your existing server, wherever it's hosted. No migration required to get started.
What happens if my server goes down?
You'll be notified immediately and I'll start working on it. Response time depends on your plan — Pro and Full clients get priority response within 4 hours.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, absolutely. I handle confidential client infrastructure daily and I'm happy to sign an NDA before we begin.
What if a developer breaks something on the server?
My responsibility covers server-level infrastructure — OS, cPanel, security, and performance. Issues caused by application code or third-party developers are outside the scope of server management, but I'm happy to investigate and advise.
Do you manage multiple servers?
Yes. Volume discounts are available for clients with 3+ servers. Contact me to discuss a custom plan.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Portugal (EU) and serve clients worldwide. Time zone is rarely an issue — most server management work is done asynchronously and I respond to emergencies fast regardless of time.
