Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
Managing a server takes up a lot of time, especially if you are not familiar with systems administration tasks. The goal is to automate as much as possible, but it takes a while to learn what to even automate and make sure you are doing things securely. If you get hacked, do you have a centralized event log to aid with the investigation? Do you have an Intrusion Detection System set up to notify you of odd behavior on the server? Do you test that those backups actually work?
For a small operation, I think it would be too much work. Stick to managed hosting providers. While more expensive, they take a lot off your plate.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
