Your IT guy, by the hour

Your own IT guy for a small business

A website, email on your own domain, a bot, payments, a server that does not go down. When it has to be done and there is no one of your own to figure it out. Online, from any country.

What I help with

If it is a popular service that everyone buys but few can set up, I have most likely done it. Each section has real cases inside.

Domain and DNS

Email

On your own domain, newsletters, email from your website, spam. SPF, DKIM, DMARC in simple words.

Website

Landing page, WordPress, Tilda, forum. Free hosting, maps, forms, moving.

Server and hosting

VPS, Docker, backups, updates, monitoring so you learn about downtime first.

Payments

Donations, card payments, subscriptions, crypto.

Things that run by themselves

Telegram bots, reminders, connecting two services, a spreadsheet that counts itself.

Order and security

Audit, access, two-factor login, bot protection, clean up a site after a hack.

Get advice

A second opinion on a quote or a contractor's work. Choose hosting or a service.

What people usually ask

This is not a price list, just what people write. If your case is not here, write anyway.

Emails from my domain land in spam for half of my clients

I want a website, but hosting costs 30 euro a month. Is that normal?

I need a bot that reminds students about payment

Our WordPress site got hacked, Google shows casino ads instead of us

We want to accept donations on the church website. Where to start?

Let us take a look. Send me the website address, we will sort out the rest.

A hacked account or already lost data usually cannot be saved, and I will not promise it. But I can set things up so it does not happen again.

How it works

You write on Telegram

In your own words: what does not work or what you want to do.

A call or a chat

If needed, you share the screen or give access. Small things take an hour.

It works. And you know why

If the task is bigger than an hour, I will say so before. We discuss the terms in chat.

Who I am

Backend developer, more than 20 years of Go, Python and Perl. I built big systems in big companies, and here I help small ones, directly, with no managers and no forty-page quotes. More at sopov.org.

Who I do not work with

I do not take tasks for business from Russia and Belarus. Exception: charity and Christian organizations. I help them.
