FAQ

Emergency Server Support FAQ

Common questions before starting fixed-scope infrastructure, automation or support work.

Can you help with Emergency Server Support?

Yes. We can review the issue, confirm the affected systems and provide fixed-scope support where the work fits our infrastructure, automation and server support services.

What details should we send?

Useful details include what is down or business-critical, when it started and what changed, access method and backup status, plus the urgency and desired outcome.

Can you work on production systems?

Yes, but carefully. We confirm access, backups, risk and rollback options before making changes that could affect live services.

What happens after we contact you?

We review the details, confirm whether it is suitable for emergency support, fixed-scope work, a review or a larger project, then provide the next step.

How much does this work usually cost?

Emergency support is $199/hour with a 3-hour minimum.

After the fix

Reduce the chance of the same issue returning.

After a fixed-scope issue is resolved, we can also help with monitoring, backups, restore testing, security hardening or ongoing infrastructure support where it makes sense.
