$ man faq

? Do I need Linux experience to take this course? +
No! While basic command-line knowledge helps, Coolify provides a user-friendly UI that makes server management accessible to everyone. I'll guide you through everything step-by-step.
? What VPS specs do I need to get started? +
You can start with a ~$5/month VPS and scale up as you grow. I'll show you how to optimize resources to run multiple applications efficiently.
? Is self-hosting really secure? +
Honestly? Nothing is ever 100% secure. Even big tech companies with full security teams get breached, so I won't promise you bulletproof. What I will do is teach you how to stack the odds heavily in your favor: firewalls, SSL certificates, locked-down SSH, automated updates, backups, and monitoring. Done properly, a hardened self-hosted server holds up well, often better than a default managed setup. The goal isn't perfect security. It's making yourself a hard enough target that the threats that actually matter can't get through.
? Can I really save ~$790 per month? +
Absolutely — ~$790/mo is my real number, the same figure on the cost breakdown above. It's based on my actual bills running 10+ projects, 3 client full-stack apps, and multiple PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis instances. Managed services stack up fast; self-hosted, the same workloads run on one box I control. You can start much smaller — even a ~$5/month VPS — and scale up as you grow.
? What if something goes wrong? +
I cover troubleshooting, automated backups, and disaster recovery. With proper monitoring you'll catch issues before they become problems. The course includes real-world scenarios and solutions.
? How long do I have access to the course? +
Forever — you get lifetime access, including all future updates as Coolify and the course evolve, so it won't go stale.
? How does the money-back guarantee work? +
Simple — it's no questions asked. Request a refund within 14 days of purchase and I'll refund 100% to your original payment method. Just email me with your order details.
