I have been looking into VPS web hosting, and there is quite a difference in price between self-managed and managed plans.

I've done some tinkering on IIS (using IIS Manager) but do not have any experience managing a server (though you have to start somewhere, don't you?).

I have a working web site that I've created (asp.net/C#) and is currently on shared hosting. I'm thinking of transferring it to a VPS.

So - Is it realistic to manage my own VPS? Or, rephrased, what would the main obstacles be?

Yes.

Or, rephrased, what would the main obstacles be?

The fact that you don't know what you are doing.

  • Given your lacking professional capacity - none. SUperuser.com is for end users. A professional will tell you you are way over your head and that IS helpfull. You also dont try to design and build a car without knowing what you are doing. Or fly a plane. – TomTom Aug 08 '13 at 17:03
