Melon Bots — est. Dubai × Chennai — now taking projects

Infrastructure, migrations & AI automation for serious websites.

We run one of India's largest content networks ourselves — over ten million monthly visitors, hundreds of millions of pageviews, zero agencies in between. Now we're available to do the same for yours.

We don't just build for clients. We run the sites.

Most agencies build a site and hand it back. We built a network of content sites serving millions of readers daily — and we've been running them ourselves for fifteen years. Every piece of infrastructure we recommend, every migration playbook we follow, every AI pipeline we ship — it's battle-tested on our own traffic first.

You're not hiring consultants. You're hiring operators who've spent a decade solving the exact problems you're facing.

Three things we do exceptionally well.

We're not a generic dev shop. We do a small number of things we've done hundreds of times before — which means fixed prices, clear scopes, and outcomes we'll put in writing.

S / 01 Infrastructure

Migrations & managed hosting

Moving off cPanel, escaping a bad host, or finally setting up a proper VPS. We've migrated sites from shared hosting, OVH, Hostgator, Bluehost, GoDaddy, and most of the usual suspects — usually with zero downtime.

  • cPanel → VPS migrationfrom $2,500
  • Managed hosting & opsfrom $400/mo
  • LEMP stack setup$1,200
  • Security hardening$1,800
S / 02 Performance

WordPress speed & care

WordPress and WooCommerce sites that have gotten slow, flaky, or expensive to run. We fix Core Web Vitals, tighten hosting, clean up plugins, and then keep the thing running so you don't have to think about it again.

  • Speed rescue (audit + fixes)$1,500
  • HCU recovery audit$2,000
  • WordPress care planfrom $250/mo
  • Fractional DevOpsfrom $2,000/mo
S / 03 AI automation

AI content & workflow builds

We built and run our own AI pipeline that turns PDFs and notifications into publish-ready articles at scale. We now build custom versions of the same stack for publishers, newsletters, and content-heavy businesses.

  • Content automation pipelinefrom $15,000
  • Custom LLM workflow buildfrom $10,000
  • Hosted automation retainerfrom $1,000/mo
  • AI infrastructure audit$3,000

Four steps. No surprises.

We don't run long discovery phases or produce 80-page proposals. Most engagements follow the same path, and most of the time we can quote you on day one.

01 / Scope

A 30-minute call

You tell us what's broken or what you're trying to build. We tell you whether we're the right team for it and roughly what it'll cost. No decks, no forms, no sales funnel.

02 / Quote

Fixed-price SOW

Within 48 hours you have a one-page statement of work with scope, deliverables, timeline, and a fixed number at the bottom. If it's retainer work, we quote monthly.

03 / Execute

We ship

50% upfront, the rest on delivery. You get Slack or email access to the engineers actually doing the work. No account managers. Most migrations wrap in 5–14 days.

04 / Handover

30-day warranty

Anything breaks in the first 30 days that's clearly on us, we fix it on our dime. Most clients stay on a managed retainer — but only because they want to, not because they're locked in.

What this looks like in production.

A few representative projects — two from our owned network, one from a client build. These are the kinds of problems we're good at and the shape of the outcomes we produce.

Case / 01 Owned

FreeJobAlert — scale

One of India's top government-jobs portals. We've run the infrastructure end-to-end for over a decade — Cloudflare at the edge, tuned Nginx, MariaDB replication, cron-driven publishing pipelines. Survives traffic spikes that kill most WordPress sites.

ClawdBot — AI pipeline

An end-to-end automation that ingests government PDFs and notifications, extracts structured data using multiple LLMs in parallel, and outputs publish-ready articles with custom imagery. Now in its fifth major version. Can run on local inference (Ollama + Qwen) or hosted models.

Case / 03 Migration

cPanel exodus — 40+ sites

A single month of migrations moving a content network off two cPanel servers (one EOL) onto a single tuned VPS. Included database collation normalization, DNS cutover, SSL, cron jobs, and a strict zero-data-loss policy. Cut hosting spend by roughly 60%.

We built a business by running sites that stay up, stay fast, and keep making money while we sleep. That's the only thing we're selling.

Frequently asked.

If yours isn't here, just email us. We reply to everything within one business day.

Where are you based, and what timezone do you work in?

+
We operate out of Dubai (UAE) and Chennai (India). Between the two offices we cover roughly 14 hours of overlap with both US working hours and full European working hours. Client communication is primarily on email and Slack; urgent issues get a response within the hour during business hours.

Why should I hire you over a US or EU agency?

+
Because we've been running a 10-million-visitors-a-month site ourselves for over a decade. Most agencies in your home market are junior engineers billing senior rates on top of a sales layer. We have no sales layer, no account managers, and no junior engineers touching production. You talk to the people doing the work.

Do you actually do fixed-price, or is it "fixed until it isn't"?

+
Fixed means fixed. Every productized service on this site has a clearly scoped statement of work. If you ask for additional work mid-project, we quote the delta separately and you choose whether to add it. We can quote fixed prices confidently because we've done these exact engagements dozens of times.

What happens to my data and access during a migration?

+
We take three independent backups before touching anything, keep them for 30 days after go-live, and roll forward with a fresh staging environment so we don't risk the live site. DNS cutover happens only after a full smoke test on staging. We've done forty-plus production migrations without a data-loss incident.

Can you sign an NDA / MSA / DPA?

+
Yes. We sign standard NDAs, MSAs, and GDPR-compliant data processing agreements. We have our own templates if you'd like a starting point, or we're happy to review yours.

How do I pay you?

+
USD invoicing through our UAE entity. Standard options are bank transfer (Wise / international SWIFT), Stripe card payment, or crypto for retainers. For first engagements we take 50% on signature and 50% on delivery. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.

Let's talk.

A 30-minute call tells us both whether this is going to work. We'll give you straight answers on scope, timeline, and cost — and we'll tell you if we're not the right team.
