Jimmy Vee : Managed Hosting for Web Developers

Sound familiar?

You survived IR35.
You shouldn't have to survive 3AM server calls too.

You built a client base. You sharpened your stack. You're doing the work you're genuinely good at : building things.

But somewhere in the mix, you're still the person your clients call when a server update breaks everything. You're still patching, monitoring, explaining downtime to people who don't care how it happened : only that it did.

That's not what you got into this for. And it's not what your day rate should be covering.

There's a reason the best freelance developers charge £500+ a day for build work. Because build work is what they're exceptional at. Infrastructure is the bit that eats into that : unpredictably, ungratefully, at 3AM.

Code is broken : that's you.
Server is broken : that's me.

Who I am

I used to be on
your side of this.

I'm Jimmy. I was a freelance web developer. I was decent at it. But I was better at the infrastructure side : the servers, the security configs, the 3AM incident responses that most developers tolerate rather than enjoy.

I realised I was fighting my own instincts. So I stopped. I pivoted completely to managed hosting and infrastructure. I haven't looked back.

Before that, I spent years as a technical account manager at a games company : managing over 40 clients. That's where I found my element. That's where I realised I actually enjoy the calls that make most developers dread their phones.

I'm not a hosting company. You won't talk to a bot. You get me : someone who's lived the freelance life, speaks your language, and genuinely loves the work you probably dread.

🎯

Code is broken : that's you.
Server is broken : that's me.

What's included

Everything infrastructure.
Nothing else.

One flat monthly fee. No setup costs. No surprise invoices. No lock-in.

🛡

Security management

Full security hardening to your spec. SELinux, firewall rules, OS patching, vulnerability monitoring : you choose the profile, I install and maintain it.

📡

Uptime monitoring

24/7 monitoring with proactive incident response. I'm watching your servers so you don't have to. If something goes wrong, I find out before your client does.

🔧

Updates & migrations

OS updates, security patches, server migrations between providers. Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, Red Hat : I handle the stack changes so you never have to.

🏷

White-label support portal

Your clients get support at support.yourdomain.co.uk : your logo, your colours, your brand. They have no idea I exist. That's by design.

💬

Live chat & ticketing

Live chat when I'm online : roughly 18 hours of UK day and night covered. Ticketing for everything else. You and your clients are never left waiting.

🔌

Any stack, any setup

Laravel, React, WordPress, bespoke builds : I don't care what you've built it on. If it runs on a server, I can manage it.

All of the above, every month.

No contracts. No setup fees. No per-incident charges. One flat price per site, cancel any time. The only thing I ask is that you don't tell me about your client's front-end code : that's your domain, not mine.

£20per site / per month

The opportunity

This isn't just offloading
a headache. It's a revenue stream.

You're already responsible for your clients' hosting in their minds. You're just not getting paid properly for the stress it carries.

Flip that. Add managed hosting to your service offering. Charge what you think it's worth. I don't need to know, and I don't need a cut.

One client paying you £100/month covers five sites. Two and you're in profit. Build it up and you've got recurring income that runs whether you're building or not.

If a client wants to pay you £1,000 a month for managed hosting : that's entirely your business.

Example: 10 client sites

You pay me (10 × £20)£200/mo

You charge clients (10 × £75)£750/mo

Your margin£550/mo

Your time on infrastructure0 hours

"If you can find a client happy to pay £1,000/month for managed hosting : that's entirely up to you. I charge £20. The rest is yours."

White-label

Your clients never need
to know I exist.

Everything I do runs under your brand. Your clients see your logo, your support portal, your name.

✓
Custom CNAME : support.yourdomain.co.uk points to your branded portal
✓
Upload your logo and set your brand colours : it looks like yours, because it is
✓
Live chat and ticketing under your brand identity
✓
Resell at whatever price point makes sense : no questions asked
✓
I work in the background. Your client relationship stays yours, permanently

What developers say

Freelancers who've
taken back their nights.

★★★★★

"I was spending 3-4 hours a week on server stuff : patching, monitoring, fielding panicked emails. Jimmy took that off me completely. Not had a single server call since."

Alex L.Laravel developer, Manchester

★★★★★

"The white-label portal was the thing that sold it. My clients think I've got a full support team. The £20/site is honestly the best money I spend each month."

Sam R.Freelance full-stack developer, Bristol

★★★★★

"Jimmy gets the freelancer mindset. He's not trying to take over your client relationships : he just handles the bit that ruins your evenings. Exactly what I needed."

Mark K.React developer & agency owner, London

You build it.
I'll keep it running.
