Route each domain to its own local service with Caddy. Check DNS, upstream addresses, HTTPS, configuration validation, safe reloads, and every affected site.
Start with user-visible availability, then watch application health, CPU, memory, disk, backup age, and logs. Set alerts that reflect sustained problems rather than brief spikes.
Trace faults through DNS, network access, TLS, Caddy, the local upstream, application, and database using evidence at each layer instead of blindly restarting the server.
Create a small operating routine for a first website: health checks, disk and memory monitoring, versioned backups, off-server copies and a tested restore procedure.
Understand Caddy automatic HTTPS, verify DNS and ports in order, inspect service logs and solve common certificate failures without destructive guesswork.
Upload a local HTML and CSS site to a safe web directory, install Caddy, configure the domain, validate the configuration and publish without exposing a development server.
Install Ollama on Linux, run a first model, verify the local API and understand why port 11434 should not be exposed to the public internet without authentication.
This is not an automated ranking, and neither service is necessary for everyone. These are services I use, with the use case and limitations kept visible.
A server option I use for early-stage projects: get the site running first, then decide whether to upgrade from real monitoring data.
The channel I use for GPT and Codex membership needs. Review it only when free access or an existing plan no longer covers the work.
