In the immortal words of Han Solo, "Yeah, but who's going to sysadmin it, kid? You?"
(I agree with you, however.)
- hnha 12y agomaybe I have just been lucky but I am running a site on a dedicated Linux server for 3 years without any significant issues. There have been zero security issues. The only downtimes were caused by me. It requires maybe 2 hours of maintenance per month. It is also running on bleeding edge packages. Of course I invested some days into the initial setup but that is fun if it's your hobby.
- cheald 12y agoIf you need $300/mo worth of Heroku hosting, chances are good that you aren't doing something that's going to be terribly hands-off. Systems administration isn't hard, but it is involved - there's a lot of learning ramp-up that has to go into it.
