Hi,
I'm a linux sysadmin and have worked in a web hosting company for more than eight years and now doing a full-time sysadmin consulting. I used to work with leading webhosting companies . My job roll was to take care of dedicated server and vps that include deploy, manage and migrate server.
Since last four years i am working as a freelancer so i can understand you in betterway.
Thanks
