I do not recommend you to get an Unmanaged server at all with no server management knowledge.
I know it is cheaper to get an Unmanaged server, but what if in 1 year it gets hacked and you lose all the data on it? Who will you blame? Your datacenter?
It's worth the extra $100. Get a managed server, and sleep well.
Or, get an Unmanaged server and an outsource server management team (usually more expensive).
In order to be a "good" system administrator you will have to learn a lot.
A Linux Server Administration course would be a start. It is usually expensive (around $500 for a good one), however you profit from it in the long run.
A firewall will not protect you against everything. A bad security model is all someone needs to hack into your box.
