Custom application hosting
Custom application hosting: PHP, static, and app stacks with a control panel you can actually use.
Not every site is WordPress. Some shops run a PHP app, a static marketing site, a small Node front end, or a custom CMS that already works. Those clients still need a proper host, a place to change files without filing a ticket for every typo, and a named person when the box misbehaves.
I'm Avery Parker. Diversified Tech Solutions hosts custom and non-WordPress workloads the same way we host WordPress: on a real Linux box, with backups and TLS, and with panel access so you can tweak and update without waiting on us for every change. WordPress niches live on real estate WordPress hosting and property microsites. This page is for everything else that still belongs on a well-run server.
Who this is for
- Owners with a PHP or static site that is not WordPress (or does not want to become WordPress)
- Shops bringing a small app stack (for example Node, or another runtime we confirm at discovery) that needs a predictable Linux home
- Agencies that keep the client relationship and want hosting with a named caretaker
- Anyone who outgrew "upload via FTP and hope" but does not need a full DevOps team
Remote nationwide when we can reach the files and the admin. Onsite in the Tri-Cities and Western North Carolina when you want someone in the room.
What you get
| Included | Detail |
|---|---|
| Linux hosting for non-WP workloads | PHP and static on paths we already run; other app stacks scoped after a short discovery |
| Control panel | Self-service for common tweaks and updates (files, basic config, deploys you are allowed to touch) so you are not blocked waiting on us |
| SSH / SFTP when needed | Shell access on paths that warrant it; we do not hide the box behind a locked panel |
| TLS / HTTPS | Certificates managed on the box |
| Backups | Backup schedule with a restore path you can actually use |
| Operator | Avery Parker, same person as Linux admin, WordPress Care, and IR |
Usually separate or quoted: Domain registration, business email, application development, plugin or theme work on WordPress (that is a different product), or moving you off a host that is already fine.
Stacks we talk about honestly
We publish what we can support without inventing a product matrix.
| Stack | How we treat it |
|---|---|
| Static HTML / CSS / JS | Straightforward. Good fit for brochure and funnel sites that do not need a CMS. |
| PHP apps (non-WordPress) | Common on our Linux path. Confirm PHP version, extensions, and database at discovery. |
| WordPress | Not this page. See real estate WordPress hosting, property microsites, and WordPress maintenance. |
| Node or other app runtimes | Possible when the workload fits a small VPS and we can support the process manager, reverse proxy, and update path. Quoted after discovery. We do not pretend every framework is already a menu item. |
| Databases | MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL when the app needs them; sized with the box, not as an unlimited shared farm. |
If your app needs a specialist PaaS, containers everywhere, or a team on call for release trains, say so early. We will tell you when we are the right host and when you should stay where you are.
Control panel vs Care
| Need | Path |
|---|---|
| Host the app, panel for tweaks, backups, TLS | This page (hosting) |
| Ongoing hours for changes, updates, and "can you look at this" | Care Plans (Care language is WordPress-first today; non-WordPress care hours can be quoted when the stack is ours) |
| Linux admin on a box you already own | Linux, VPS, and WordPress support |
| Site compromised | WordPress IR if it is WordPress; incident response or Linux help if it is not |
Hosting alone is not a Care Plan. The panel is for your day-to-day tweaks. Care (or quoted admin hours) is for when you want Avery in the loop on a schedule.

What this is not
- Not a promise that every framework, container platform, or serverless product is already on a fixed menu
- Not "unlimited everything" shared hosting theater
- Not application development or a redesign (see custom software when the product itself is the work)
- Not WordPress Care packaged as if the site were WordPress
- Not a reason to move you off a host that is already healthy
If the site is not WordPress
If your site or small app is not WordPress and you want a control panel, SSH when it matters, and a named operator in Johnson City, call and we will say whether custom hosting, Linux admin on your box, or staying put is the better fit.
