VPS hosting

I can offer my clients managed hosting on my Linode VPS that is configured and tuned for fast, specialised Drupal hosting.

The server currently runs on Debian Squeeze and utilises the rather awesome Aegir Drupal site and platform management toolkit on it. This is all served by a lean, mean NGINX web server that was configured by the Barracuda script, so it includes custom caching and an advanced firewall and monitoriing for strong security. This setup can handle most levels of traffic and is easily clonable or extendable should a client need even more performance.

You can read more about how I set it up and how I'm getting on, or have a look around some of my VPS-hosted sites, below.

Winchester Green Party

I co-founded Winchester Green Party in 2007, and stood in several city and county elections. In that time I also built the local party a website that could keep voters up to date with campaigns, news and other elections as they happened. It has a members-only area and a clean custom theme designed by me.

I'm not involved with party politics any more, but I continue to provide support and hosting for Winchester Green Party's website.

Urban Vault

Urban Vault is a UK urban music, clothing, lifestyle and culture site with many features including competitions, news, events, interviews and a clothing store built in Ubercart.

My good friend, Giles Sawyer, and I first discussed creating a lifestyle site and store more than three years ago. Over those years, the idea grew into Urban Vault, which has grown from a simple news site with a online store to a popular, vibrant destination for anyone into the UK urban scene.

Sustainable Dorset

Originally built to replace DA21's (Dorest Agenda 21) website and directory of sustainable organisations, this is a big site that allows visitors to see all that's going on in the sustainability realm within Dorset, UK.

The site covers many streams of content, from news and events to funding, training, resources, plus the improved "Directory of Sustainable Organisations". Each content item can be related to others, and indeed to the area within Dorset or the topic it matches.

Dan Musselwhite Jewellery

An online store based on Drupal and Ubercart for a good friend who runs his own jewellery business. I built a custom Drupal theme and set up many views, panels and content types to support his varied product ranges.

AM Bull: Renewable Energy, Plumbing & Heating Solutions

A simple content managed website for my plumber friend. It's set up to allow him and his staff to be able to update it with news, testimonals or photos of their projects as they go, whilst providing excellent SEO capabilities.
