CloudToVPS was built for developers who are tired of runaway cloud costs, vendor lock-in, and surprise bills. We help small teams and solo developers transition their infrastructure from major cloud platforms to fast, secure, and cost-effective VPS or bare metal servers—without giving up the speed and simplicity of cloud-era deployment workflows.
The big cloud platforms are optimized for scale—but not necessarily for cost control or developer autonomy. Many teams find themselves trapped in overly complex dashboards, unpredictable billing, and architectures that are far more than they need.
CloudToVPS bridges the gap: you get the power of dedicated infrastructure with modern CI/CD workflows, battle-tested Linux configurations, and real human support.
CloudToVPS is led by a veteran systems architect and developer, Ericson Smith with over 25 years of experience in:
He has built advertising tracking platforms at scale, supported thousands of small business sites across diverse hosting environments, and architected hybrid cloud/VPS platforms long before it became trendy.
You’re not getting someone who "spins up a droplet" and calls it DevOps—you’re getting decades of expertise in making sure things work, scale, and recover when needed.
Every setup includes:
git push-based deployment setup using Docker, Buildpacks, or direct app serviceFor ongoing support, you can add flat-fee Hands-On Monitoring or request Ad-Hoc Issue Support—no retainers, no nickel-and-diming.
We don’t believe in vendor lock-in
You own the servers, the repos, and the infrastructure. We're here to help you run it better, not control it.
We automate everything—but we know when to SSH in
Scripts are great. Real-world debugging skills are better. We do both.
We speak developer
Whether you're building SaaS with Elixir, shipping a Rails monolith, or running a Docker swarm, we’ve been there—and can make your deployment pipeline clean, fast, and maintainable.
AI is powerful—it can help you write code, review logs, and answer questions fast. But when a disk fills up, a backup fails silently, or your server refuses SSH access, AI won’t log in and fix it for you.
CloudToVPS combines automation with human experience. We monitor real-time issues, respond to alerts, and apply fixes manually when needed. We don’t just diagnose—we take action.
You still get modern tools, clean automation, and AI-powered suggestions—but with the confidence that someone real is watching over your infrastructure.
Whether you’re spending too much on Heroku, over-provisioned on AWS, or just tired of chasing Kubernetes logs—you deserve infrastructure that works for you, not against your budget.

We'll review your stack and recommend a VPS or bare metal setup that saves you money while giving you full control.
CloudToVPS — because you shouldn’t need a cloud engineer just to deploy your app.
