Start with a £150 troubleshooting session, agree a security project, or arrange monthly support.
£150 initial session
A practical first step for a Linux, Docker or hosting problem, without a monthly commitment.
A complete fix is not guaranteed within the session. Further work is agreed separately; this is not emergency incident response.
