Yup. This advice is spot on. I started with just setting up my own server at home, and over the last 15 years, it's now a small data centre with a with a 24U rack and all sorts of tech. Eventually, I was able to quit my job and go solo with consulting. The home data centre has been really useful in keeping my cloud costs down. Since much of the infrastructure was already in place and properly setup it pretty much takes care of itself.
- m3nu 6y agoHaha. Same here. I started out hosting client backups in my parent's shoe cabinet. 10 years later it's a proper company with dozens of servers. (they now live in real data centers) Couldn't have done it without fooling around with my home server first. An early ASUS Eee PC in that case.
