It's largely self-maintaining: if you're using one of the several hundred hosts that permit that sort of thing, actual upgrades to the operating system are done automatically. They claim it takes five minutes to install; I have to admit, the best I've done is about 6:40.

For security (denial of attacks, etc), it seems to leave the SysAdmin to a hosting service. I could host a Mac Mini worse case but that appears a huge headache.<br />Thank you again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517009497663708697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-87472999068059381332019-06-26T15:01:57.766-04:002019-06-26T15:01:57.766-04:00Bugger!

However, if they can kick you off of their hosting platform, can they ban you from using the software?

Your best bet may be to get a server from Hosting Matters for cheap and run something on that. And back it up to a different cloud based provider in case they get pressured.
