Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garland" data-source="post: 9369" data-attributes="member: 1014">I wouldn't want to give naive advice to a beginner that managing a server is easy because it is not.As the great boxer Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." The same is true for managing a server. It's easy to copy and paste commands from articles to install something, but that's not managing the server. When strange issues start happening, it suddenly becomes difficult.I would recommend OP to take a bit of time and play around with a cheap VPS and maybe read some Linux management courses to understand what to do when things happen. Or.. get a managed host until OP has more experience with managing the server because if the issue becomes too complicated, the service provider can help.</blockquote>
