Reddit (and Lemmy/Mbin) is just a kind of forum.

That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.

Unraid was worth every cent.

I self host many services without any coding languages under my belt. I use Unraid because I found it user friendly for a newb like me. The most important skills I needed were good data backup habits just in case I messed something up, a willingness to read and learn, and the persistence to try more than once.

One percent of 300,000 would be 3,000.

I use nginx manager in its own docker container on my unraid server. Was pretty simple to set up all things considered. I would call myself better with hardware than software but not a complete newb and I got it running with minimal headache.

Unraid is pretty simple to use. It has made setting up my services easy with just a little bit of googling for trouble shooting.

Professional handymen, electronics installers, contractors, people who do this kind of thing for a living.

Have also had good experience using namecheap for years.
