Optimization & Maintenance
Managed cloud hosting provisioned as code, with matching staging, automated deploys, tested recovery and monitoring — sized against your real traffic, in accounts you own.
Is this you?
Hosting is invisible until it isn't, and the day it becomes visible is usually a costly one.
The site falls over exactly when it matters
A campaign lands, a product drops, traffic spikes — and the server chooses that moment to stop responding.
Deploying changes is a manual, nervous process
Files moved by hand, no staging that genuinely matches production, and every release carrying a chance of taking the site down.
Nobody knows how the server is configured
Set up years ago by someone who left, undocumented, and now nobody dares touch it in case it stops working.
You're paying for capacity you never use
A large fixed instance sized for a peak that happens twice a year, idling expensively for the other three hundred and sixty days.
Overview
Provisioned as code, monitored continuously, and recoverable because we've proved it.
Most hosting problems aren't really about the server. They're about the absence of process around it: no staging that matches production, no repeatable deployment, no tested recovery, and no documentation of how anything is configured. That's what turns an ordinary Tuesday release into an outage, and an ordinary hardware failure into a very bad week.
We build infrastructure as code, so the environment is described in version control rather than assembled by hand. That makes it reproducible — staging genuinely matches production, a second region can be stood up deliberately, and a rebuild after a failure is a process rather than an archaeology project. Deployment runs through an automated pipeline with health checks and a rollback path, so releasing stops being an event.
Sizing is done against your real traffic patterns, not a plan tier. Auto-scaling where the load genuinely varies, right-sized instances where it doesn't, and caching and CDN in front so the origin handles less than it otherwise would — which usually reduces the bill rather than increasing it. Backups run automatically with off-site retention and periodic verified restores, monitoring covers infrastructure and application health with alerting, and everything runs in cloud accounts you own, so the relationship is a service rather than a hostage situation.
Capabilities
Nine areas of infrastructure work. The architecture review decides which your workload needs.
Environments designed and provisioned as code on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure — reproducible, version controlled and documented.
Planned migration from existing hosting with data sync, rehearsal and DNS cutover designed to keep downtime to minutes.
Environments that genuinely match production, with automated deploys, health checks and a rollback path that has been used in anger.
Auto-scaling and load balancing sized against real traffic patterns, with load testing before the day you need it to hold.
Edge delivery, object caching and compression in front of the origin, so it serves less and costs less to keep fast.
Managed database instances with replication, automated backups, connection pooling and slow query monitoring.
Automated off-site backups with defined recovery objectives, and periodic restore drills that prove the numbers are real.
Infrastructure, application and uptime monitoring with thresholds and escalation, so we respond before you're told.
Right-sizing, reserved capacity and storage lifecycle rules reviewed regularly — cloud bills grow quietly without someone watching.

Our Process
Six phases. The migration is rehearsed before it happens.
Engagement
Three shapes, depending on whether you want us to build it, run it, or both.
A fixed-scope build and migration to cloud infrastructure, handed over documented for your team to operate.
Fit
And, just as usefully, who it isn't for.
Why DM Solutions
Four commitments aimed at the day the infrastructure is tested for real.
Environments are defined in version control, not assembled by hand. That's what makes staging genuinely match production and a rebuild repeatable.
We run restore drills and publish the actual recovery times. Documented objectives nobody has ever exercised are a hope, not a guarantee.
Capacity is set against your actual patterns and reviewed regularly. Most clients moving to us reduce their bill rather than increase it.
Everything runs in cloud accounts you own, with the definitions in your repository. You can take it in-house or elsewhere without a rebuild.
Proof of work
Migrations where uptime improved and the bill went the right way.

Testimonials
Questions
The six that come up before every hosting engagement.
Often less, which surprises people. Most sites on fixed hosting are paying for a peak that happens rarely, while idling the rest of the time. Right-sizing, auto-scaling and putting a CDN in front of the origin usually reduces the bill. Cloud costs do grow quietly without review, which is why cost optimisation is part of the ongoing service rather than a one-off exercise.
