Support that solves the problem instead of pointing at the boundary
We have run production servers with RackNerd since early 2024, and the support is the reason we stayed. A short list of what they have actually helped us with: setting up rDNS PTR records and the SMTP banner so our mail was accepted properly, tracking down why MariaDB would not accept external connections, fixing a missing MX PTR record, sorting out a run of failing OS updates, getting a Docker container serving on port 443 for a subdomain, and walking us through an Ubuntu 24.04 upgrade. Several of those sit well past the point where most hosts stop and say "unmanaged, out of scope". Response time matters as much as the answer. When our webserver went down, we had help before 5am. When we hit a misdirected 443 request at nearly 1am, same thing. That is the difference between a bad night and a bad week. Most recently we needed to restart a server outside their hours. Instead of simply doing it for us, Anthony Fye pointed us at the TenantOS API and its control panel, and we ran a supervised reboot ourselves the same day. We now handle power and console at any hour without waking anyone up. That is the through line. Anthony does not just close the ticket, he removes the need for the next one. Infrastructure you can operate yourself is worth more than infrastructure someone operates for you, and RackNerd clearly understands that.
