That is actually surprisingly cheap. Care if I ask what types of services one would get at those rates?

You're absolutely right though, for a company like OP's, if they are so short on cash, it makes a lot of sense to get someone in even if just for the week to address these types of fundamental problems.

For a monthly service, you generally receive an initial: - System architecture review - Backup strategy / DR review - Security scan, and detailed review - System monitoring design, and implementation

and on-going: - 24x7 monitoring, and response to outages - Server patch management - Ad-hoc system admin time available to be used on-demand

Many more details, and capabilities, but you get the idea ;)
