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?

Maybe for hosting a blog or something but I wouldn't self host anything more important than that. Even then, Github pages support custom domains on their free tier so you don't even need to do the hosting in that scenario
