I’d like to set up a personal cloud, probably through a vps to start. However, I’d also like to move my domains to the same server. It’s been well over a decade since I did any server admin style work, so in technology years I’m old as feck.

What are my best options to look into as far as privacy/security/reliability/price for a vps? What are my best options to allow friends and family to mindlessly backup their data to our private cloud (if such a thing exists)? I’m looking for cross platform support and the ability to host multiple websites.

    Thank you for the advice and for directing my research a bit.

    My immediate family is quite large, and I’m already tech support. Outside of family I stopped doing tech support many years ago when I closed my computer repair business. I’m comfortable assuming the responsibility of their data, and I’d feel better knowing it’s in our control and not the mercy of large corporations.
