CentOS Server DevOps Web Designer Wordpress AWS Expert Udemy Graduate

Are you a multi-million dollar company looking for a server DevOps that can solve huge problems? This is what I do. Please ask my advice by sending me an invite. Is your website crashing repeatedly and all you get are excuses from your web host? Do you know your server errors? It takes highly advanced server skills to handle high volume traffic, and that's what I do. The amount of monthly income you're losing today is more than you'll pay me to solve these troubles. For more than 4 years, I've been a Top Rated Upwork full-time freelancer ( less than 1% of all Upwork freelancers achieve a Top Rated status for more than 2 years ), I'm a 20 year Linux server / systems administrator, and I've been developing with WordPress since 2009. I'm 56 years old, and I live in the gigabit community of Bristol, TN. I'm always available for questions, whether we work on a contract or not, please ask my advice. I'm here for you. I built my first website in 1997, and as a Udemy.com graduate, I take my coding seriously. I have advanced training in CentOS/Redhat, Nginx, PHP, HTML, CSS, SQL, WordPress, Command Line, and I'm continually taking courses to improve my skills. I'm the fixer that gets it done. Server Administration: I have been a Linux systems administrator since 2000, and command line admin is my specialty. For your website, I have the fastest web server configurations anywhere. Your new website will have a very low bounce rate, and a page load of less than 3 seconds. Website/app performance starts with server performance. This is my specialty. WordPress: Will only run as fast as the server it's built on. All the WordPress plugins in the world cannot make your website faster. Often times, people try a variety of different plugins only to find they have now lost access to their website. Whether the installed plugins killed your site, or slowed it down to a crawl, I can make it right for you. I will make your website lightning fast because your server will be configured to handle what WordPress needs. Forensic Data Extraction: Digital analyzing, recovering and preserving data from hard drives or computers. Need access to an email account? Need to know if someone is a traitor to the US? Want to recover assets from a loved one's unexpected death? Recovering data is vital for access to assets and building a trail of evidence to discover the truth. Website SSL Security: Starts with server security. Let's Encrypt! That's the name of the free SSL security certificate I will put on your website. This now includes wildcard SSL certificates for WordPress Multisite. Once Let's Encrypt is installed, you just set it and forget it. You'll never worry about SSL again. SELinux is a server side security system that locks down access to your server. In all my years as a server administrator, I've never seen one server setup with a proper SELinux configuration (except for my own). I will make this happen for you. WordPress Migrate: Want to migrate from SquareSpace, GoDaddy or a custom built site, over to WordPress? My WordPress migration scripts/algorithms can scrub your content clean, then re-install to my private dev servers, then up to your new hosting. I make site migrations easy, and your new site framework will be done with the proper SEO infrastructure. I have many years of experience migrating websites, setting up your new hosting, and building site SEO. Private In-House Server: Need your own private web/email server? Whether you want an Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or your own private in-house server setup, I can do all of this remotely. Whether you want a web/email server, or just a linux box in-house, I can make this happen (CentOS/Redhat only). Your new server will have SSL/TLS, DKIM, DMARC, SELinux and tight security. WordPress SEO: Ever wonder how some websites make it to the first page of Google? What's their "it" factor? The answer is SEO. Over the years, I have built custom WordPress scripts that will add your keywords to all your posts, projects and portfolios, add header tags where you need them, improve the header tags you already have, create and add hundreds of internal links without disturbing your existing links, summarize what you have for keywords and headers, and then output your new keywords list and headers after my scripts have improved your site. I can turn around your SEO WordPress optimized website in less than 1 day! Add a list of your top keywords (phrases) that you want to SEO your website on and your website will be in great shape. When you're ready, send me your WordPress export file (WordPress Admin -- Tools -- Export -- All Content), and a list of all your top keyword phrases/categories you want your website to use for SEO. My clients do this repeatedly throughout the year, and that's why their websites are on top. Please tell me what I can do for you and let's do this! Thank you! Tom Heibel

"A hack left our server in very bad shape, with important data inaccessible. Tom got started right away and worked until the problem was solved at 2 am. He retrieved everything we needed and saved the day in an emergency situation. Great job"
