Cloud Architecture & Hosting

Shape a quietly reliable cloud footprint around your PHP & data platforms.

ITConfig.ie helps organisations in Ireland and the EU design, migrate and operate cloud hosting that is right-sized, observable and secure — without turning every change into a high-risk project.

Cloud services

From first deployment to ongoing optimisation

We work with shared hosting, VPS, managed cloud providers and hybrid environments. The aim remains the same: a calm production environment that developers trust and finance teams understand.

01 · Design

Cloud architecture & footprint

We design pragmatic cloud footprints around your PHP applications, databases and data flows instead of forcing you into over-engineered patterns.

  • Shared hosting, VPS or managed cloud
  • Environment separation (dev, test, prod)
  • Network & access considerations
Architecture sized for today, with room for growth.
02 · Migration

Hosting & platform migrations

We plan and execute migrations from legacy or congested hosting to cleaner, more maintainable environments – including rollback paths and test runs.

  • Discovery & dependency mapping
  • Cutover windows & rollback plans
  • Post-migration verification & tuning
Move platforms without losing sleep.
03 · Cost & capacity

Capacity & cost optimisation

We analyse your existing environment against usage to reduce waste, avoid over-commitment and keep a clear line of sight on monthly spend.

  • Right-sizing servers & services
  • Practical cost dashboards & alerts
  • Growth planning for 6–18 months
Spend where resilience matters, not on noise.
04 · Security

Cloud security basics done properly

We focus on the security controls that matter most: access, encryption, patching and basic monitoring, backed by clear runbooks.

  • Access control & credential hygiene
  • SSL, patching & encryption patterns
  • Incident and alerting pathways
Security measures that your team can actually run.
05 · Observability

Monitoring, logging & alerts

From simple uptime checks to log and error tracking, we wire signal into the channels your team already uses — without creating dashboard fatigue.

  • Uptime, performance and error monitoring
  • Log aggregation & basic dashboards
  • Alert tuning and escalation paths
Just enough observability to stay ahead of issues.
06 · DevOps

DevOps & CI/CD alignment

Cloud changes, deploy pipelines and application releases are treated as one flow – so developers can ship safely without infrastructure surprises.

  • Deployment & rollback patterns
  • Infrastructure changes alongside code
  • Shared runbooks with development teams
Cloud that moves at the pace of your releases.
Cloud journey

Where are you on your cloud journey?

Some teams are moving off shared hosting. Others already have a cloud footprint and need it tidied up. We work with both – and everything in between.

Step 01 · Discover
Map what you have today
Inventory hosting plans, applications, databases and integrations so we know exactly what we’re moving – and what can be retired.
Shared hosting · VPS · existing cloud
Step 02 · Design
Shape a target footprint
Propose a new cloud layout that balances resilience, performance and cost – without over-engineering or locking you into one vendor.
Trade-offs documented and agreed up front
Step 03 · Implement
Move with guardrails
Execute migrations and configuration changes in controlled waves, with test runs, rollback plans and clear communication to stakeholders.
Cutovers planned around real-world usage
Step 04 · Operate
Run & refine quietly
Keep monitoring, backups and costs tuned over time so the cloud becomes a calm background utility, not a constant source of noise and surprises.
Ongoing optimisation, not one-off projects
