Hi, all -

Well, I've never done this before on GFY, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to help a few of you guys out.

My name is Dan, and I'm a professional freelance Systems Administrator.

I have clients all over the world, in both Mainstream and Adult markets, and I've been doing freelance consulting for over a year. Prior to that, I had worked for several large Web Hosting companes to include Cavecreek/CWIE, IPOWER, and a brief stint at GoDaddy and others, doing everything from security management, systems engineering, load balancing and distribution services, cluster configurations and overall systems design and administration. I have over 7 years of direct experience with every level of a LAMP stack, not simply installing Apache or IIS and walking away. My specialties include extending capacity for growing Web Sites, to include High Availability, Load Balancing, Redundancy, and Shared Storage. These aren't just buzz words, but rather, they are what I live and breath as a consultant.

I've been fortunate enough to have exposure to many impressive technologies which I've deployed and seen in production, which simply aren't generally utilized. I find it unfortunate that a lot of these technologies are not used, which could easily extend the able operations of a Web Site almost immediately, to ensure longevity and a more pleasant user experience. I do what I do because I enjoy helping, and I enjoy using the technologies that improve small business. I'd like to capitalize on my ability to perform these services for your small business.

My attitude works, and my services deliver every time because I focus on long-term relationships with my clients. I much prefer these as-needed Systems Administration contracts because they help me develop a better, deeper understanding not only of a particular industry, but even on a particular niche. With experience working with many different Web Sites that cater from the most subtle to the most extreme niches, I've developed quite a knack of knowing which technologies are needed where, for how long, and exactly what the cost will be. A lot of this can only come with experience, which is what I use to make decisions with.

If your Web Site is growing quickly and the user experience is slowing down at the same time, but you don't know what to do, you're exactly the kind of person that I'd like to do business with. I love what I do, and although I am very interested in making money while doing it, I never recommend or perform work which is not necessary. I'm a very honest and frank businessman and would rather not do business with you, than lead you in the wrong direction. I'll prove this to you by giving you a free one hour consultation to better understand your needs and help you consider your options. My rates are very reasonable, and with the right kind of agreement, I've even been known to work on a contingency - because I understand the potential, and what is at stake.

In closing, I hope at the very least that I've given some good Webmasters some things to consider. There are options which are completely viable, secure, and positive that can be applied to a current configuration which have a direct significant impact on your daily operations. If this is something that's been on your mind for a while, let's talk. At the very least, you'll have spent an hour of your time with me, knowing what it takes to make your business better.

Thanks for your time, and I hope to hear back from you in the near future.
