In order to organize the work of a small business, we will need to solve several of the most common problems.
1. Submit a website
To host a website, you can use a virtual hosting service, for example, the Business tariff with a dedicated IP address is perfect for most websites.
As an alternative, you can order a VPS with a pre-configured web stack and also host your website, which will provide greater flexibility and reliability.
2. Mail
Here, for small volumes, you can also get by with the Business hosting tariff, which will allow you to create mailboxes for employees and work with mail, subject to little use. In this case, we mean when the size of mailboxes does not exceed the volume of the tariff plan.
If each mailbox takes up about 30-50 gigabytes, it is better to use your own mail server - for these tasks, assembling a ready-made corporate mail server on Debian 12 will be an excellent solution. You can choose the size of the SSD disk in the raid array up to 900 GB.
3. Cloud
To collaborate with files, so that all employees have access from all devices, as well as the ability to share files via a link with clients, make backup copies and, if desired, even store telephone contacts, you will need a cloud on the NextCloud software platform. Installation takes a few minutes. All you have to do is add users through a convenient web interface and install the application on the devices, selecting folders for data synchronization.
Most small business problems will be solved. All servers will be under your control and management and will have backup copies that can be restored if necessary. This infrastructure will provide you and your business with data security and complete control.
