6 Reasons why you Should Start Self-Hosting in 2023

There’s a lot of differentiation and gotchas missing from the article. For example “Greater Security”. That depends a whole freakin lot on your own proficiency in regards to a whole lot of different aspects of security and your capability to stay on top of it.
While not self-hosting means you trust a 3rd party to do it correctly, self-hosting means you have to trust yourself with it, which can be equally bad or worse.
The same reflection needs to be made when it comes to cost. And I’m not just talking about the hosting costs themselves, but also the cost of managing the security and other aspects of the machines you are hosting on. E.g. for a portfolio website, that also hosts some projects, that aren’t commercial and don’t get much traffic, it might be a lot cheaper to NOT self-host.
Just saying that a little more reflection on the points would have resulted in a lot more legitimacy of the article.

Will it not cost down time / management of servers will be at stake?

Y’all I think this article is about self-hosting your own personal stuff not specifically to enterprise. Like self-hosting your own cloud, password manager, media server, email server, etc…
Self-hosting is freedom from big tech controlling your data and when done correctly will be more secure than big tech

It’s like we’re going back! o.O

By self hosting, does it mean not using IaaS anymore?
