I upgrade and customise phpBB forums
I set up and maintain Linux servers
I fix broken or hacked WordPress sites
I transfer websites and emails between hosts
Thirteen years of keeping small-business web infrastructure working: forums, sites, servers, mailboxes and the moves between them. Beyond WordPress that includes Joomla, Drupal, Laravel and plain PHP applications, plus self-hosted automation and private AI. You deal with me directly, not with an agency.

“Our PhpBB forum was stuck with emails not going and password not working. Shafi fixed all these issues within 1 hour. Highly recommended. He also helped upgrade our forum to latest version inspite of many technical issues. He talked to our hosting support directly and resolve all of them. I would definitely return if I have any more phpBB work.”
“Shafa was very responsive to requests and inquiries. He always took the time to explain what he was doing, any issues he was encountering, and how we could work through them. His attention to detail made this very difficult project possible and I'm very glad we found him! We will certainly be using him for our phpBB forum needs in the future.”
“Very good communication, there were some problem which could not be resolved, but dtyacf did his best to fix the problem, which were a result of my server. He offered me a refund but I declined to ask for a refund. He was dedicated and did the work I asked for. I recommend dtyacf. Michael”
“A skilled professional that worked with great patience to overcome any issues that arose, always felt confident that he knew what he was doing and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone that has a complex task to deliver in this field. Many thanks”
“Wanted an extension for PHP.BB where we can use custom fields. This was something that we've requested from over 10 programmers. DTYACF was the only one who could deliver. He is brilliant and what he does. It took a bit longer that he expected but he adding a day or two for something no one else could figure out is worth the wait. Great quality and I'll definitely be using him for more of our work.”
“Shafa handled the migration of my websites and emails to a new hosting provider efficiently and without any problems. This was a task I was quite stressed about, but Shafa was fast and ensured a smooth transition. His communication was good throughout the process. I recommend his services for website and email migration.”
