Unless you have a passion to learn and tinker, use Cloudflare pages and leave the worry to them.

I used to have several ESX servers, my own Exchange server, IIS servers, etc. all running from home.  Got rid of all of it.  Mainly because as I got older, I had more things in life I wanted to do than maintain infrastructure.  Plus, nowadays with all the security issues happening at lightning speed, just was too much work and worry.
