I got a bad contractor and can get out. Once i get out though, i still want to make sure i dont repeat the mistake.

Respectfully - maybe one of the things you're not very patient/interested in doing well is the outsourcing itself. You missed some key upfront steps on the website portion, and you also rushed out and bought a server, which are two things it seems like a more experienced consultant/advisor of some kind could have ensured delivered significantly more value/lower risk to you in the long run.
That your posting questions on here about these kinds of things would suggest to me that you're taking business risks in terms of how qualified you are to select the people/processes/technology that will underpin some of the operational aspects of your business that should essentially be worry free to you so you can concentrate on your core speciality.
I guess these are minor things at this stage of the game, please don't take offence - just concerned for you
