How fast can you respond to an emergency?

Response speed depends on availability and the nature of the incident. Emergency inquiries submitted through this form are treated as highest priority. For the fastest response, complete the form fully and indicate clearly that production is down.

Do you need SSH access to help?

SSH access significantly speeds up diagnosis and resolution. We can also work via VPN, bastion host or screen sharing if direct SSH access is not immediately available. We will work with whatever access you can provide.

Incident Types

Linux emergencies we handle

We work on the full range of Linux production incidents — from server-level failures to web stack problems, database issues, security incidents and emergency recovery operations.

Server Down / Unreachable

System-level failures: kernel panic, full disk, OOM killer, runaway process, failed service dependencies, network configuration issues.

Web Application Failure

Nginx/Apache crashes, PHP-FPM misconfiguration, broken deployments, 502/503 errors, certificate expiry and application startup failures.

Database Problems

MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL corruption, replication failures, slow query emergencies, crashed InnoDB tables and connection exhaustion.

Compromised Server Triage

Initial triage for suspected intrusion, unauthorized access, unusual process activity, crypto mining, web shell discovery and post-breach stabilization.

Broken Updates & Recovery

Failed package upgrades, broken apt/dnf state, dependency conflicts, failed kernel upgrades and recovery from botched system changes.

Emergency Migration

When a server needs to be moved quickly due to hardware failure, provider problems or security incidents — with minimal downtime and data integrity checks.

Our Approach

How we handle emergency Linux incidents

Emergency work requires systematic thinking, not reactive guessing. We follow a structured diagnostic approach regardless of the urgency — because rushing without a clear picture makes incidents worse, not better.

Initial triage: Establish what is failing, what is still working and what the blast radius is
Diagnosis: Review logs, system state, recent changes and service dependencies
Stabilization: Restore service with the safest path, not necessarily the fastest shortcut
Root cause analysis: Understand why this happened, not just how to stop it
Post-incident report: Written summary of what happened and what changed
Recommendations: Specific steps to prevent recurrence

After the Emergency

Post-incident stabilization

A resolved incident is often a symptom of deeper operational gaps. After the immediate problem is fixed, we offer post-incident stabilization work — addressing the root causes so the same scenario does not repeat.

Monitoring configuration to catch the problem earlier next time
Backup verification and tested restore procedures
Security hardening if the incident revealed exposure
Documentation of the current system state
Transition to Managed Linux Operations if ongoing support is needed

FAQ

Emergency support questions

Emergency requests submitted through the form above are treated as highest priority. For the fastest response, complete the form in full and clearly indicate that production is down. Response speed depends on current availability — we recommend contacting us immediately when an incident begins rather than waiting.

SSH access significantly speeds up diagnosis and resolution. We can also work via VPN, bastion host, provider rescue mode or screen sharing if direct SSH is not immediately available. We will work with whatever access you can provide and guide you through expanding access if needed.

We can guide you through accessing the server via your hosting provider's control panel, KVM/IPMI console, rescue mode or cloud provider console. Most hosting providers — OVH, Hetzner, AWS, DigitalOcean and others — offer out-of-band access that we can work with even when SSH is unavailable.

Contact us for information on out-of-hours availability. Response outside business hours is subject to availability. Customers on ongoing managed service plans with defined SLAs have priority response arrangements. Submit the emergency form regardless of the time — we monitor incoming requests.

We are transparent about what we can and cannot do. If a problem is outside our scope — for example, it requires hardware intervention that only a data center can provide — we will tell you clearly and help coordinate the right path forward. We do not keep billing for time on problems we are unable to resolve.
