Digital infrastructure

The systems behind the systems.

Websites, CRM, automation, and business email all depend on a technical layer most customers never see. DevStacker configures and manages that foundation — through appropriate third-party providers — so the systems people actually use have a reliable place to run.

What infrastructure means

The visible system is only as reliable as what's under it.

Customers see the website, the portal, the CRM login. Behind that sits the domain, DNS, hosting, database, email delivery, SSL, backups, and access controls — the layer that determines whether everything else actually works, and keeps working.

Domain DNS Hosting Database Email delivery SSL Backups Access

Domain & DNS

Small records, large consequences.

Domain configuration and DNS records — A, CNAME, MX, TXT, subdomains — quietly control where the website, email, and service integrations actually point. Incorrect DNS can break the website, break email, or break a third-party integration, often without an obvious cause. We handle configuration and migrations carefully, without turning it into something the business needs to understand line by line.

Cloudflare & SSL

DNS management, caching, and encrypted connections.

Where appropriate, we configure Cloudflare for DNS management, proxy and CDN functionality, and SSL/TLS — along with basic traffic protection and caching configuration. It's a useful layer, not a guarantee: Cloudflare reduces certain kinds of risk, it doesn't prevent every possible attack, and DevStacker configures it as a tool rather than operating it as our own platform.

Business email infrastructure

The records that decide whether your email is trusted.

MX

Mail Exchange

Tells the internet where incoming mail for your domain should actually go.

SPF

Sender Policy Framework

Declares which systems are authorized to send email on your domain's behalf.

DKIM

DomainKeys Identified Mail

Cryptographic signing that helps receiving systems verify a message wasn't altered.

DMARC

Domain-based Reporting

A policy and reporting layer built on top of SPF and DKIM alignment.

SMTP

Transactional Sending

How your website, CRM, or apps send confirmation and notification emails through an appropriate provider.

Aliases Forwarding Website form delivery CRM email integration

Correct configuration strengthens the foundation. It does not guarantee inbox placement — final delivery also depends on sender reputation, message content, sending behavior, and the receiving system's own filtering, none of which any provider fully controls.

Hosting & VPS configuration

Configured on infrastructure we don't own.

DevStacker configures hosting and VPS environments, application deployment, database setup, PHP/runtime configuration, cron jobs, SSL, and environment setup — on appropriate third-party infrastructure. We're not a hosting company; we're the team that sets it up correctly and keeps it working.

Deployment & migration

Risk managed, not eliminated.

Site migrations, CRM or application migrations, DNS cutovers, and database migrations all carry some risk. We manage it deliberately — backup before changes, a configuration review, and a rollback plan where appropriate — rather than promising a zero-downtime outcome no honest provider can guarantee.

Backups

A backup only helps if it actually works.

A backup is only useful if it exists, it's recent enough, it contains the data that's actually needed, and it can be restored when the time comes. All four matter — a backup nobody has tested is a guess, not a safety net.

Website files Database CRM / application files Off-site destination, where appropriate Retention strategy Restore testing, where scoped

Not every project includes offsite backup or restore testing by default — scope is agreed upfront.

Access & security foundations

Reducing avoidable risk.

We handle the practical basics: HTTPS, sensible permissions, account and access management, credential handling, keeping software updated, basic server hardening, and restricting admin access where practical.

HTTPS Permissions Access management Credential handling Updates Basic hardening

This reduces avoidable risk — it does not make a system immune to compromise. DevStacker is not a penetration-testing or enterprise cybersecurity provider.

Monitoring

Knowing something broke before a customer tells you.

Existing providers?

Working well doesn't need replacing.

If your current provider works well, we don't replace it just to create more work. DevStacker can potentially work with your existing hosting, VPS provider, domain registrar, Cloudflare account, email provider, or backup service. Changes should have a real technical or business reason — not happen by default.

Infrastructure in the connected stack

Everything above this depends on it.

Website↕CRM↕Automation

All three depend on DNS, hosting, email, SSL, database, and backups underneath them — infrastructure supports the rest of the stack rather than sitting apart from it as an isolated service.

To be clear

What DevStacker is — and isn't.

DevStacker is not:

  • A hosting network owner
  • A physical data center
  • An internet service provider
  • An email provider
  • A domain registrar
  • An enterprise cybersecurity or penetration-testing firm

DevStacker configures and manages technology using appropriate third-party providers and tools, within the agreed scope. That's a deliberate choice, not a limitation we're working around.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you provide web hosting?+
No — DevStacker configures and manages hosting through appropriate third-party providers rather than operating our own hosting infrastructure.
Can you manage our existing VPS or hosting?+
In most cases, yes — we review what's in place and work with it where it makes sense, rather than requiring a migration by default.
Can you configure Cloudflare?+
Yes — DNS management, proxy/CDN setup, SSL, and basic traffic protection are common parts of this work.
Can you set up business email DNS records?+
Yes — MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration is one of our most requested infrastructure tasks.
What are SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?+
In short: SPF says who's allowed to send mail for your domain, DKIM cryptographically signs messages so they can be verified, and DMARC is the policy layer that ties the two together and reports on failures.
Can you guarantee our emails reach the inbox?+
No — no provider can honestly guarantee inbox placement. Correct configuration significantly improves the odds, but final delivery also depends on sender reputation, content, and the receiving system's own filtering.
Can you migrate our website or CRM?+
Yes — with a backup taken first, a configuration review, and a rollback plan where appropriate. We manage migration risk; we don't promise zero downtime.
Do you set up backups?+
Yes, scoped to what the project needs — website files, database, and application files at minimum, with off-site storage and restore testing where that's part of the agreed scope.
Do you provide cybersecurity services?+
We handle infrastructure-level hardening — HTTPS, permissions, access management, updates. We're not a penetration-testing or enterprise security audit firm, and we won't imply otherwise.
Can you manage infrastructure after launch?+
Yes, through DevStacker Care — ongoing monitoring and management separate from the initial setup.

Ready when you are

Your business systems shouldn't depend on infrastructure nobody understands or owns operationally.
