It is a financially extremely risky proposition to invest for yourself or for your customers in a server platform, if you do not have a good idea of what exactly it is.
Hiring and spending on hired help for building the server platform is several orders of magnitude cheaper for someone who knows how to program by himself. Therefore, if you fail to learn even the very basics of software development, the odds will be stacked against you. You will not just be unable to do the work by yourself, worse, you will also not be reasonably able to outsource the work to other people.
My recommendation is that you spend at least a few months (3-6) learning the basics before proceeding carefully.
Possible starting point are places like
codeacademy and
coursera.
You could also not do it, but that will guarantee that you will certainly waste most of your or your customers' money.
It would be utterly irresponsible.
