From the last few months I am not running a full node but I had a node in the external device for a few months and I did not have a problem running it all the time.
I have heard people on this forum recommend renting server space in order to host a full node. I am wondering if this is a better option than hosting locally and what the costs associated would be. Performance and security are top priorities. I am looking at running a full node continuously, not just for a temporary time.
I never paid much attention to it however if there is some step-by-step instruction then I have hosting with namecheap and if this works then I can also run a node online. Not sure if I understood correctly by renting server space.
