Our services

At nocloudtech, we provide independent technology consulting to help you make smarter choices without the pressure of brand loyalty or unnecessary upselling. From selecting the right hardware and designing reliable home networks to setting up self-hosted services and creating smart home and media solutions, we focus on practical guidance tailored to your needs. Our goal is to be a trusted partner who simplifies technology, saves you money, and ensures your systems work seamlessly—so you get the performance, security, and flexibility you deserve.

Home Network Design

A strong, stable network is the backbone of modern life. From streaming and smart devices to working from home, everything depends on fast and reliable connectivity. At nocloudtech, we design networks that fit your space and your needs—whether that’s whole-home WiFi coverage, wired connections for demanding workstations, or balancing performance across multiple users.

We don’t just recommend hardware; we look at how your household actually uses the internet. Builders, homeowners, and apartment dwellers alike can benefit from solutions tailored to their environment. The result is fewer dead zones, smoother video calls, faster downloads, and a network that “just works.”

Hardware Consulting

Technology moves quickly, and buying the wrong hardware can be an expensive mistake. At nocloudtech, we act as your independent advisor—helping you choose the right equipment for your unique needs. Whether you’re a small business needing reliable servers, a creative professional looking for a powerful workstation, or a gamer building a high-performance PC, we’ll guide you through the options.

We don’t represent or resell any brand, so our recommendations are always focused on what’s best for you. From evaluating specs and performance trade-offs to suggesting upgrades that extend the life of your current setup, our goal is to save you time, money, and frustration while making sure you get the most from your investment.

Smart Home & Media

Smart homes and home entertainment systems should make life simpler, not more complicated. At nocloudtech, we provide independent consulting to help you cut through the noise and find solutions that work seamlessly in your home. We aren’t tied to any single ecosystem like Apple, Google, or Amazon, so our advice is always focused on what truly benefits you.

Our specialty is designing flexible setups that combine smart devices with self-hosted services. This means you can expand the capabilities of otherwise closed ecosystems—like extending Apple HomeKit with broader compatibility—or build your own media environment to store, organize, and stream content on your terms.

We’ll help you explore the right balance between smart devices, security systems, and media servers, all while keeping costs in check. Hardware purchases are never the goal; they’re simply an option. Our role is to be your trusted partner—helping you design a secure, reliable, and enjoyable home environment that fits your needs now and grows with you in the future.

Self-Hosted Services & Virtualization

Why rely solely on third-party cloud providers when you can run powerful services yourself? We help you explore the world of self-hosting—setting up personal cloud storage, secure file sharing, media servers, or even full productivity suites, all running on your own hardware. This gives you control, flexibility, and privacy that big cloud companies can’t match.

We also specialize in virtualization, making it easier to consolidate workloads, test new ideas, or build out a homelab environment. Whether you want to dip your toes into self-hosting for the first time or take your existing setup to the next level, we’ll guide you step-by-step to make sure the technology works for you—not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

We specialize in four areas: hardware consulting, home network design, self-hosted services, and smart home & media. That might mean helping you choose the right computer or server, improving your WiFi coverage, setting up personal cloud storage or media servers, or designing a smart home system that actually works together. All of our advice is independent and tailored to you—we don’t upsell, push specific brands, or lock you into unnecessary equipment.

Who is this for?

Our services are designed for anyone who wants technology to work better in their home or small business. That could be a homeowner frustrated with unreliable WiFi, a family trying to simplify smart devices, a professional who needs reliable hardware, or a hobbyist curious about self-hosting. Because we’re not tied to any vendor or sales agenda, we can help beginners and advanced users alike find practical, cost-effective solutions.

Do I need to buy hardware through you?

No. Hardware purchases are always optional. Many clients are able to improve their setup with the equipment they already own. If upgrades or new gear make sense, we’ll recommend options from different vendors, explain the trade-offs, and let you decide what’s right. Our role is to be a trusted advisor, not a reseller.

Self-hosting means running software and services on your own hardware rather than relying on third-party providers. For example, you could host your own secure cloud storage, or stream movies and music from your own media server instead of juggling multiple subscriptions. Self-hosting gives you more control, privacy, and flexibility. We make it approachable by helping you choose the right setup and guiding you through every step.

What is self-hosting?
Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. While many clients come to us for one-time projects like planning or setup, we also provide ongoing support. That might include answering questions later, assisting with upgrades, or troubleshooting as your needs evolve. We’re here for the long run, so you can always rely on us as a partner when technology changes.

We charge for our time and expertise—not for selling hardware. This keeps our advice unbiased and focused on your needs. Depending on the project, we may use hourly rates, flat fees, or ongoing support agreements. Either way, we’re always transparent about costs up front so there are no surprises.
