A lot of our readers are DIY people who want to roll up their sleeves and get deep in the weeds on technical details, lovingly tweaking every config file.

But there are others who want something that “just works”.  They have a need for a web site or other service, but don’t have the time or the technical ability to really administer their own server.  Make no mistake, being a sysadmin in 2025 is no joke: there’s a lot to learn, and it seems like hackers are always hovering in the wings waiting for you to make a mistake so they can swoop in and compromise your system.  Plus there’s monitoring, backups, disaster recovery…it can make your head swim.

For people who need a helping hand, we have a suggestion for you today:  SolaDrive.

SolaDrive offers managed systems, where they do all the hard work of setting up your server, maintaining and patching it, monitoring it, backing it up, and making sure it’s secure.  Instead of being given the keys to a bare-bones operating system, you’re presented with a fully configured VPS or dedicated server on which you can build your site or service, confidant that you’re riding on a solid foundations.

Of course, don’t expect to pay the same price as a totally self-managed solution.  But if peace of mind is something you need, the price is worth a look.

Service is available around the world: New York and Los Angeles in North America, Coventry (UK) in Europe, and Singapore in Asia.  And you can choose either Linux or Windows.

Why choose SolaDrive?

1. 24/7 Customer Support : Access to expert support at any time for troubleshooting, technical issues, and assistance with server management or installing anything you need.
2. Proactive Security Monitoring : Continuous monitoring for potential threats, service issues, 3xx-5xx header website header codes, and website/service availability.
3. Automatic Software and Security Updates : Daily updates to both server software and applications, reducing the risk of outdated, vulnerable systems.
4. Custom Server Configuration : Tailored server configurations to meet your specific needs, optimizing performance for your unique applications or unique requirements.
5. Performance Optimization : Ongoing server tuning, caching, and resource management to ensure your website or application runs efficiently at all times.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
