I’m not scared of managing a server. I just want a more intuitive way of managing it. After all, ServerPilot/Runcloud and any cpanel just run commands to carry out tasks for you.
I want to move away from shared hosting for many reasons, mainly to use Ghost and Discourse, but also because I want to migrate my client sites so they have dedicated resources, and greater flexibility.
