If you don't want to learn DevOps why not use a PaaS like Heroku? That way when you want to learn DevOps, you can move your application without rewriting large swathes of it.

It's funny but when I learned to code basically all ISPs provided you with free hosting and a database, and you just needed to drag and drop a PHP file to make it live. It's like we have gone backwards not just in terms of openness but also in terms of complexity.

The last time I had done server side dev, yeah, it was all PHP and FTP drag and drop a file over.

I was a bit shocked at how asinine things had gotten.
