For a small business, a service such as GoogleApps or Microsoft365 is likely going to be a cheaper solution than self hosting this. Plus including productivity applications and cloud storage as part of the package in most instances.

It will be much, much safer as well. If you’re unsure of how to do this, do not do it yourself. Setup a home lab, sure. Use it to learn but do not run your business this way!

I’ve used it to develop the framework of my code or to do some boilerplate stuff in some instances but I personally wouldn’t want to use it for much else as without understanding what your code does, it could take much longer to fix or expand upon.

Am sysadmin by trade. I started when my manager told me to add 1000 people to a group. This rapidly lead me to learning how to script and build tools for my team…

Then my team leader asked if I could make the tools run from a web site but only using free stuff. So html, js and php followed. MySQL when I wanted to start logging capabilities. 10 years later and now running on Laravel here we are!
