I have thoughts but not a lot of time - so forgive the terseness. I love the idea of this, but I'd take it further and even have a category in upwork for getting services spun up and maintained.

But that's really the problem - maintenance. Right? Once something goes wrong _for whatever reason_ the user is then (for the immediate needs) just as stuck as with a cloud provider who disabled their access.

Thankfully there is a better course of action - e.g. find someone to fix it for you. Maybe on upwork as well?

But where are you hosting this? Is it AWS? Did _they_ suspend your account? I guess my point is that unless you host on hardware in your house (or another accessible place) you're at the risk of losing access to your data for any myriad of reasons. And even then, there have been warrants where devices were collected and went into a years-long battle as evidence.



I can’t trust up workers to properly fill out a spreadsheet. I really don’t think I’ll be getting the cream of the crop for sysadmin work.
