I would like to host a static website and have already a small vm hosted on Digital Ocean. Is it a good idea to use it as a webserver or should I go for a webhosting provider?
Anyone know the drawbacks of hosting it yourself, like security wise for example?

@notsostubby Security is fine. And it's simple and easy to setup yourself on a VM. No need to pay extra money for a dedicated host. Just look up "nginx letsencrypt" and you can set it up in ten minutes. Use namecheap or something to buy a domain name and just look up how to set A records on there
But then I noticed that most people just don't care that they are manipulated and whatnot. Too consumed with daily live. So I gave up that idea.
Also because I couldn't think of a good fqdn.
