Infrastructure

The platform under every plan.

We run web hosting, virtual and dedicated servers, object storage, backup and edge delivery for European businesses. One EU facility, one fleet, one team that provisions by hand and answers its own email.

Provisioning runs on working days, Central European Time.

Scope

What we run, and what we leave alone

The second list is the more useful one. It is also the shorter route to finding out whether we are the wrong supplier for you.

YES

What we do

  • Shared web hosting on NVMe, with per-site PHP versions, mail, certificates and nightly backups.
  • Managed WordPress: a stack we tune ourselves, a staging copy per site, scheduled core and plugin updates.
  • Virtual servers with dedicated vCPU, and single-tenant bare metal with an out-of-band console.
  • Managed Kubernetes and reserved private-cloud pools with private VLANs and site-to-site VPN.
  • S3-compatible object storage and an immutable backup vault, replicated to a second EU site.
  • Edge delivery in front of any origin: caching, a web application firewall, image conversion.
  • Migration into all of the above, including the DNS cutover and a rollback window.
NO

What we do not do

  • We do not build your website. Design and front-end work is not part of a hosting plan and never appears on the invoice.
  • We do not write your application. When something misbehaves we will point at the cause and hand you what we found, then stop.
  • We do not resell domain registration. Point any DNS zone at us and we will configure it, but we will not stand behind a registrar we do not control.
  • We do not take on work we cannot staff. If a request needs a skill or a maintenance window we do not have, you get a no in writing rather than a slow yes.
  • We do not sell capacity we have not built. Every plan on this site maps to hardware classes that exist in the facility.
The physical layer

What the plans actually sit on

Racks, power, switching, cabling. The order of the work when a new row goes in, and the order of the checks when something breaks.

Technology

A deliberately boring stack

Nothing here is new. That is the selection criterion, not an accident of budget.

Why boring is the feature

Every component we run has been in production for years, has documentation you can read at three in the morning, and has a user base large enough that somebody has already hit your problem and written down the answer.

Novelty in an infrastructure stack is a cost the customer pays during an incident. We would rather operate a well-understood component we can debug under pressure than a newer one we would be learning about while your site is down.

Anything outside this list can still be installed on a plan with root access. It is then yours to run, unless we agree in writing to manage it.

Delivery

How an order becomes a running service

Six stages, the same for every plan. Nobody has to chase us for the next one; each stage ends with an email from a person.

You order and pay

Pick plans and add-ons, enter your company details, and pay on the secure payment page. Card details never touch this site, and nothing is built before the payment clears.

We confirm the specification

An engineer reads the order and writes back with the exact build: operating system, hostnames, sizing, and anything in the order that still needs a decision from you.

An engineer provisions it

Within 24 hours on working days for hosting, VPS, edge and storage. Dedicated hardware and private cloud take one to three working days, because a machine is built and burned in for you.

Credentials and a handover note

Panel address, IP addresses or hostnames, SSH or SFTP details, the DNS records to set, the backup schedule, and the name of the engineer who built it.

Migration, if you asked for it

Inventory, then a dry run on a preview address, then a final delta sync, then the DNS cutover with certificates issued in advance. The old environment stays reachable for seven days.

Live and monitored

Reachability, resource use and certificate expiry are watched from then on. Alerts reach a person, and planned work is announced before it happens, not after.

Working together

How we work with clients

None of this needs a support contract. It is simply how the company is set up to answer.

1:1

One engineer owns your account

The person who built your environment stays with it. You write to one address, and the reply comes from someone who already knows how your machines are wired.

DOC

Handover notes in plain language

Every environment ships with a written note: what was installed, where things live, what we changed from the defaults, and why. No screenshots of a panel instead of an explanation.

RE:

No automated ticket ping-pong

Nothing asks you to confirm the problem still exists, and nothing closes itself after a silence. A person reads what you wrote and answers that, in one reply where possible.

ASK

Changes are discussed first

Your environment is altered only on your written request. The exception is security patching, which is scheduled, and emergency patching, which is explained to you afterwards.

EN

English is the working language

Quotes, invoices, documentation, handover notes and support are written in English. Correspondence in Polish is welcome if you prefer it.

EXIT

No lock-in past the current term

A term runs twelve months and renews only if you say so. When you leave, you get archives of files, dumps of databases and images of virtual machines, and there is no exit fee.

Service commitments

What we promise, in hours

These are response targets, not an uptime guarantee. Per-plan availability targets sit in the comparison matrix; below is how quickly a person starts work.

Support severity levels, first response targets and who answers
LevelSituationWhat countsFirst responseAnswered by
S1 Production down Your site, server or cluster is unreachable or data is at risk. 1 hour 24/7 on Scale plans; business hours otherwise
S2 Degraded service Something works but slowly or intermittently: high load, failing cron, partial errors. 4 working hours Support engineer
S3 Question or change A configuration change, a new mailbox, a firewall rule, advice on sizing. 1 working day Support engineer
S4 Planned work Migrations, upgrades, new environments, scheduled maintenance windows. Scheduled with you The engineer who built your environment

A first response means an engineer has read the report and told you what is happening, not that the problem is already solved. Planned work is announced at least five working days ahead and scheduled outside business hours.

Who buys from us

Four situations we see often

Each one with the plan we would actually recommend, and the add-ons that usually come with it.

Row of rack servers with green status lights
Web hosting

A design agency with 30 client sites

Every site on its own WordPress install with a staging copy, updates handled on a schedule and a nightly backup you can restore yourself. One invoice for the year instead of thirty hosting logins.

We would put this on Managed WordPress, €690 for twelve months.

Staging environment · €7924/7 Monitoring & Alerts · €149
Single server unit in a blue-lit rack
Compute

A SaaS team leaving a laptop-sized server

Dedicated vCPU so a noisy neighbour cannot slow your API, root access for your own deployment, and OS patching plus weekly snapshots handled by us. Add an IP for a staging domain when you need one.

We would put this on Cloud VPS Pro, €890 for twelve months.

Additional IPv4 address · €49Daily off-site backups · €129
Bundles of white network cables arranged in arcs on a patch panel
Network

A shop that gets hammered on campaign days

Pages and images served from the edge location nearest the shopper, a firewall in front of the origin and image conversion on the fly. Works with the hosting you already have; we do the DNS cutover with you.

We would put this on CDN & Edge Delivery, €790 for twelve months.

DDoS Shield · €19924/7 Monitoring & Alerts · €149
Tall server enclosure with many active network devices
Compute

A company consolidating five ageing servers

One reserved pool of compute and storage you split into machines as you like, private VLAN between them, an engineer on call around the clock and an architecture review every quarter.

We would put this on Enterprise Private Cloud, €2.490 for twelve months.

Extra 500 GB NVMe storage · €99DDoS Shield · €199
Where we are

A Polish company with an EU footprint

The Bill Boys is based in Lower Silesia and sells to businesses across the European Union. Every plan is quoted and invoiced in euro, with tax already inside the price on the page, so a buyer in Lisbon and a buyer in Tallinn read the same number.

Data residency is the part most buyers ask about first. Production, backups and the replication target are inside the EU, nothing is copied to another region without a written agreement, and a data-processing agreement is available on request before or after you order.

Post reaches us at ul. Borówkowa 8, 58-500 Jelenia Góra, Poland. Email is faster: hello@thebillboys.pl, answered in English on working days.
