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?

If its just a simple static page. Just use cloudflare pages. It scales to zero and would probably be completely free for your use case.

Vercel is even easier to setup but they don't allow businesses on the free tier so it would be $20 a month for pro plan.
