Is it feasible to self host websites for small businesses? I’m trying to do some research on the amount of infrastructure and stuff you have to know from a security standpoint… I’m fine with building and hosting stuff locally for me but I’m tempted to move to hosting some of my business sites as well.

Does anyone have experience and can give me some advice one way or the other?

    What I can tell you, working for a company hosting data for the UK NHS.

    Is that hosting is easy, I have a very reliable homelab. I keep things up to date and make sure to secure things the best I can.

    But security is hard, there are many things to secure. Blind spots you didn’t even know you had.

    The bast way to look at security, it to start with secure and dial things back so that it works.
