What we do
Cyber Duct Tape is based in Lakewood, Colorado and supports clients locally and remotely. We specialize in messy hosting environments, inherited Linux servers, email outages, brittle WordPress installs, database failures, and migrations that need judgment instead of guesswork.

Consultative services
Quoted
Best for repeatable server tasks, reporting, cleanup jobs, or internal utilities. Send the task, frequency, inputs, outputs, and any existing scripts.
Review first
Best for backup redesign, restore testing, offsite copies, and retention cleanup. Send the systems you need to protect and how fast you need to recover.
Quoted
Best for primary-replica planning, reporting replicas, and failover prep. Send the MySQL or MariaDB version, data size, and the goal for the replica.
Scope-based
Best for tired business sites, mobile cleanup, and CMS refreshes. Send the current site, CMS, target pages, and whether you want a refresh or rebuild.
How to start
For new builds or uncertain scope, a short diagnostic usually saves time. For smaller scoped work, send the objective, deadline, and any access details you already have.
Best fit
Everything worked yesterday and nobody knows why it broke today.
The original vendor is gone, the server is old, and replacement is not ready yet.
You need the system stabilized, documented, secured, and eventually migrated.
