Haha. I couldn't resist but posting back.
A decade ago a webmaster was someone who is jack of all trades. Today it's different. Technically there are no webmasters anymore. Today Majority are bloggers and those who run e-commerce shops. People no longer develop websites from scratch. Just take a CMS like Wordpress and customize it. Many hire someone to do it. Same goes for SEO. You don't have to keep an eye on all those Google Algorithm changes and searching for solutions. You hire an SEO firm for that. They take care of optimization part for small fee. Same goes for Web Hosting. I can take care of a vps but I pay 50$ per month for a Manage VPS from KnownHost. Their support staff is really good. They monitor the vps notifiy me if somethings wrong like brute force, DDOS or even server load problems due to a outdated plugin or something. Also I open a ticket and say something is wrong here, they would respond in minutes, investigate and explain me the problem and give me options to sort it out. or they woud take care of it by them selves. All these would take 10x more time if I do by my self or still would have to contact them. So that 50$ is totally worth the service.
So it's all depends on what you really want. That 50 usd pays back totally for my business. But it's usuless for someone who has couple of websites which gives you no profit. Ofc it's good to know how to handle things command line and everything. But it doesn't mean you have to do it for sake of that.
If this is wrong thing things like Managed hosting or specialized services like shopify, Esty would have been long gone.
