Hey there,
I want to host my own instance of Nextcloud for backup purposes on a rented server and since I would also like to host a small website I am thinking about renting a VPS for this purpose. I am familiar with Linux as my daily driver and I am aware that I have to learn about securing the server by myself, since I am responsible in this scenario https://trackeasy.fun/usps/ https://showbox.tools/.
First question: Is it a security threat to run both services on the same server or is it okay to do so (given that the server is properly configured and hardened?)
Second question: The provider where I would rent the VPS offers a Plesk License. Would you recommend using it or is it better to do everything manually (especially for learning how everything works)?
Please excuse if I used wrong terms, english is not my native language.
Thanks in advance.
