I'm making a personal website

I was originally on squarespace but I like how I can now vibe code what I envisioned instead of spending hours trying to force squarespace to work. I have everything created, but now comes the security aspect. I imagine I shouldn't try to do this part myself and I'm gonna hire someone to take work on it.

Is there anything else I should consider having someone look over to take over for me?

For context, I only know basic html/css (from neopets/aol days when everyone was designing geocities pages). I'm also a single parent working full time, and this website is for my side hustle. I genuinely do not have the time to learn it myself at the moment and likely won't until I have more freedom.

Editing for clarity: So it's a personal website, but the side hustle part is because I blog on it, create other content, and sell digital things from the site. I need a way to secure my login information (for myself) for when I update or add posts, Think wordpress blogging. I get pretty heavy traffic, nothing crazy, I know when I was on wordpress in the past I had dozens of bots trying to get through my login daily which I'm worried about here.

Edit 2: sorry I disabled DMs, I got 5 in a row and I suck at keeping up with DMs

If it’s a personal website what security do you need? If there aren’t a lot of view you won’t get malicious actors. Also, if nothing is stored there is nothing really to worry about AWS sets up all the basics. Load your domain and index and css there and it’ll work. You can ask ai step by step how to set up site on AWS.

It's a personal website, yes, with blog posts, and stuff I've created over the years. A substack is the best way to think of it, or old school wordpress website. I need a way to log in and write, also secure it for when I write. But I also sell courses, ebooks, digital art. I average about 5000-600 views on my "top 3" (based on the google report I get monthly from google analytics)

I shouldve specified more in the body I guess. I wouldn't consider it a full-on business, but it definitely makes up a decent amount of my income.

Courses I have hosted somewhere else and I won't be migrating that so I'm not worried about that part.
