FreeBSD is an operating system that has powered some of the most heavily loaded servers in the world for decades — from Netflix, through WhatsApp, to DNS infrastructure and corporate firewalls. We choose FreeBSD where predictable performance, advanced security mechanisms, and reliable data protection matter. The native PF firewall, ZFS filesystem with built-in snapshots, and jails containerization are tools that no Linux distribution offers in such an integrated form. We administer FreeBSD servers in production environments hosting WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores, and custom web applications.
We install FreeBSD from scratch on dedicated servers and VPS. We configure ZFS filesystem, networking, bootloader, ports and pkg package repository. We tailor the configuration to application requirements — from simple web servers to complex environments with multiple services running in isolated jails.
We configure the native PF firewall — stateful packet filtering, NAT, port forwarding, rate-limiting, SYN flood protection, and packet normalization (scrub). PF stands out with its clean configuration syntax and high performance under heavy network traffic. The configuration is readable, auditable, and easy to maintain.
ZFS is FreeBSD's most significant advantage over Linux for data protection. Native snapshots with zero downtime, automatic LZ4/ZSTD compression, checksums on every block, ZFS send/receive replication to a remote server. We use ZFS to create instant filesystem state copies before updates, migrations, and configuration changes.
FreeBSD jails provide native containerization with full process, filesystem, and network isolation — without the performance overhead of Docker containers. We run services in separate jails: web server, database, mail server, DNS. A compromise of one service does not mean the entire server is compromised. We manage jails using bastille or manually through jail.conf configuration.
We secure FreeBSD at the operating system level: securelevel, file flags (schg, sunlnk), disabling unnecessary services, restricting SSH access to keys, security-focused sysctl configuration, and permission auditing. FreeBSD offers native protection mechanisms — securelevel prevents modification of critical system files even by root.
On FreeBSD, we combine ZFS snapshots with remote server replication — instant filesystem state copies with zero downtime, encrypted offsite replication. We complement this with traditional database and configuration file backups. Multi-layered strategy: ZFS snapshots every hour, full replication daily, recovery tests monthly.
FreeBSD is an operating system for those who need predictability, stability, and advanced administrative tools available natively — without bolting on external modules and patches. The PF firewall, ZFS filesystem, and jails containerization give the administrator a level of control that no Linux distribution offers in such a cohesive form. We have been administering FreeBSD in production environments for years and know when it is a better choice than Linux.
FreeBSD offers exceptional stability, the native high-performance PF firewall, the ZFS filesystem with built-in snapshots and compression, and jails containerization. It is an excellent choice for servers requiring predictable performance, advanced security mechanisms, and reliable data protection. We administer both FreeBSD and Linux — we choose the system based on project requirements.
Yes. WordPress runs perfectly on FreeBSD with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB or PostgreSQL. We configure the full web stack for WordPress and WooCommerce on FreeBSD, with performance optimization, FastCGI cache, Redis, and OPcache. FreeBSD with ZFS provides additional data protection through native snapshots.
PF (Packet Filter) is FreeBSD's native firewall, known for its clean configuration syntax, high performance, and advanced features: stateful filtering, NAT, port forwarding, rate-limiting, SYN flood protection, and packet normalization. PF configuration is concise and readable compared to iptables, reducing the risk of errors.
Jails are FreeBSD's native containerization system — lightweight, isolated environments with their own filesystem, network, and processes. We use jails to separate services: web server, database, mail server, DNS — each service in a separate jail. A compromise of one container does not mean the entire server is compromised.
ZFS provides native snapshots — nearly instantaneous copies of the filesystem state, with no downtime and no additional disk overhead. We combine snapshots with ZFS send/receive replication to a remote server. Together with traditional file and database backups, this creates a multi-layered data protection strategy.
Yes. We administer FreeBSD servers at providers offering this platform — Hetzner, OVH, Vultr, dedicated and collocated servers. Not every VPS provider offers FreeBSD — in such cases, we help select the right infrastructure or configure a dedicated server.
Yes. We migrate WordPress, WooCommerce, and other web applications from Linux to FreeBSD. We configure the environment from scratch, transfer data, test compatibility and performance. The migration is planned to be carried out with zero downtime.
We will prepare a FreeBSD server administration offer tailored to your needs. No commitments, no marketing jargon — a concrete proposal after a short conversation or infrastructure analysis.
