Why srvScripts exists
Written by someone who runs servers for a living
Most server tutorials are written by someone who set a thing up once. Everything on srvScripts comes from operating servers for paying customers, where a wrong step means a support queue full of tickets.
Every script page says how it was tested (fixtures, a container or a real server), on which versions and when. Guides list the versions they apply to. When something changes, such as a new panel version or a retired feature, the page is updated and dated.
What we stand by
- Test method and versions shown on every script
- A written scope and a fixed quote before any paid work
- No passwords by email: temporary keys you can revoke
- Every change written down in a short report

How we work
Clear scope, least access, everything documented
01
Scope in writing
You describe the problem; we reply with what we will do, what we will not do and a fixed price in USD.
02
Access you control
A temporary SSH key or panel login that you create and remove. Nothing is changed outside the agreed scope.
03
Report and handover
Every change is listed in a short report, so you or your next admin know exactly what was done.
