You're weighing options for setting up your web server. You already have one active, and you've secured your site with SSL. Your main concern is whether it's worth spending time securing the server yourself versus using a hosting provider. Since your ISP allows ports 80 and 443, you don't need to block them. You only need to protect a few devices on your local network, including an NVR that uses open ports. Many people prefer managing their own hosting and security, especially if you're comfortable with it. If you'd like advice or recommendations on self-hosting or securing your server, feel free to ask.
