Your server's in the cloud. Now put your admin there, too.
You have important websites and applications that you need to host on a Linux server, but you don't have the resources to hire a full-time systems administrator for your business. How can you ensure your services are highly available, properly configured, and appropriately secured?
Let us manage them for you.
Communicate with an experienced Linux administrator as he sets up your application the way you need it. Rest easy knowing that security patches (and, optionally, feature updates) are regularly applied. If you want something changed or if anything does break, just ping us and we'll have your issue solved as soon as possible.

Nerd on the Street is run by Jacob Kauffmann, an IT professional with proven Linux administration skills. On the NOTS YouTube channel, Jacob explains and demonstrates server administration topics to thousands of viewers looking for help. With Managed by NOTS, you can have that expertise at the direct disposal of your business.
Featured projects:
Nextcloud 15 on Ubuntu 18.04
In this walkthrough, Jacob demonstrates the installation and complete configuration of Nextcloud. This project creates a private cloud, powered by secure open-source software and hosted on a stable Linux server foundation.
Projects like this would be ideal for businesses who need the ability to share and sync files between employees. It's an ideal alternative to services like Google Drive because the files are hosted on your own private server, not stored in the same pool as everyone else's data.
Collabora Online with Nextcloud
Building upon the installation of Nextcloud, Jacob demonstrates the deployment of Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE), an open-source in-browser document editor developed from a LibreOffice-derived codebase.
This project gives the business its own Google Docs-like editing experience, with the ability for multiple users to edit a document simultaneously and see changes in real-time.
RocketChat on Ubuntu 16.04
In this video, Jacob takes an existing RocketChat deployment he had running on an Ubuntu 14.04 server and migrates it to a new Ubuntu 16.04 server, while changing the packaging format to Snap packaging so the server receives automatic unattended updates.
RocketChat is a Slack-like chat system that helps companies communicate more effectively and stay organized over long periods of time, even when growing departments and expanding out beyond single physical locations. The advantage to RocketChat over Slack is that, once again, your company's messages are stored on a dedicated server, not lumped together on the same drives as everyone else's messages on Slack's servers.
Breaking new ground?
If you're looking to deploy an application that isn't very popular (or even one that you've written yourself), you've come to the right place for smooth and dependable service. Jacob's experience with such a wide variety of projects means he can adapt to fit the needs of whatever your operation requires.
