Moving from shared hosting to a VPS was the best decision for my sites.
Learned the hard way that an untested backup is a Schrödinger backup.
I put every site behind the same free CDN tier and forgot about DDoS worries.
Staging is just a subdomain plus a database copy — nothing fancy, works fine.
Any tips, experiences or strong opinions welcome.
Curious what everyone else here thinks about it.

Free CDN tier is more than enough for a forum.

Same registrar here, never had a problem in six years.
Good point, I had not thought of it that way.

certbot with the nginx plugin has been flawless for me.
