Hello!
Thanks for detailed job description, this is very important to make a correct estimate.
All described steps could be finished within 2-4 hours. During this time, I will apply own well-tested on different projects solutions to build fast, reliable and secure service. This will be next optimizations:
- OS CPU/IO subsystems via sysctl and /sys, NTP;
- iptables rules, access restrictions and security policies for SSH/FTP;
- Nginx/PHP/PHP-FPM settings which have been tested on sites with 1M users per day;
- MariaDB optimizations for best performance and security;
- Lavarel optimizations;
I have the expertise in such configurations and could guarantee your 100% satisfaction from my work. But all of above settings cannot be finished within your proposed budget. I provide the highest and always dedicated level of service for my customers, that's why I asked you for more budget for this task. Please let me know if you're interested in cooperation.
Best regards Den aka dundell.
