Hosting and migrations
Moving sites, mail and DNS between servers without downtime surprises. Small-business hosting with a person on the other end, in English or Portuguese.
Roger Morais
Web hosting, Linux servers and plain, dependable web development. Thirty years of keeping other people's sites online.
Services
Linux server administration
Building, hardening and looking after production servers. Firewalls, patching, monitoring, and cleaning up after a compromise when it comes to that.
Web development
Sites and small web apps in vanilla PHP and JavaScript. No framework churn, few dependencies, documented deploys, and code someone else can still read in ten years.
With AI
Since early 2026 I have worked with Anthropic's Claude daily, and I now ship work at a pace I never thought possible. The thirty years of experience decide what gets built and what gets rejected.
A pipeline, not a chatbot
One AI instance designs, another writes the code and deploys it, a third audits the work of the other two. Nothing goes live without that second pair of eyes, and nothing goes live without mine.
Infrastructure I run myself
The AI crew shares a memory and coordination server (MCP) hosted on my own machines, with versioned files and backups on two continents. Every server keeps a logbook of what was changed, why, and how to undo it.
More than one model
Claude does most of the building: that is the Awesome Crew. I also work with GPT, GLM and Gemini Flash, which Le and I call the Federation Crew, and I use the models to check each other. A model from a different maker reads the work with a different eye and catches what the first one missed.
Built this way

My wife Le had the idea one afternoon. A few hours later it was online, in two versions, two themes and two languages. Two years ago that would have been impossible.
