What is Webmin?Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. The free GPL version is good to get started.
Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.
See the standard modules page for a list of all the functions built into Webmin, or check out the screenshots.
We have been using Webin/Virtualmin for 10 years and find web server administration and backup very easy. Further details:

There are a number of different NUC systems, with differing benchmarks and storage options.The prime need is CPU processing benchmark with about 1800 being a good base performance for such a mini-server. An i3 CPU gives good performance and is better for a slightly more powerful home/small business server:
Intel Celeron N2807 - 836
Intel Celeron N3050 - 892
Intel Celeron N3000 - 917
Intel Celeron J1900 - 1877
Intel Pentium N3700 - 1873
Intel Core i3 6100U - 3873
Intel Core i5-6200U - 3944
