No, you should get the business going first. You can improve infrastructure later.

E.g. start with a VPS. With most offerings, they are pretty reliable. If you need, make a failover cluster of two to make updates with very short downtime easier. You can add load-balancing and downtime-less updates capability later as it will make the whole system quite a bit more complex in most cases that are somewhat interesting.

Of course, if you just have a static website or something more or less state-less, doing the right thing from the get go is way easier. I have more interesting, stateful applications in mind here.



Right !!?? The phrase "experience can't be taught it has to be experienced" comes to mind :p
