Hi all,

Would love to get thoughts on the benefits of hosting your site through WA vs doing your own hosting. I've built several websites in the past and am wondering wha

It kind of depends ln what you mean by, host your own website. If you're talking about getting other shared hosting then I would say stick with WA unless you need to use a plugin and they aren't willing to allow use of that plugin.

If you're wanting to do something like DigitalOcean, then you're the one responsible for maintaining the entire system and updating, optimizing and troubleshooting the OS, web server, database, and WordPress. I'm kind of doing this now and I still need to figure out some things with the database and webserver. Basically, I have one of the smaller instances and the database
keeps crashing(probably due to not enough memory), so I installed a package that will automatically restart the process when it stops as a bandaid until I get time to resolve the underlying cause. If you're not consistently working on your website or have monitoring in place your site might be down and you might not notice for a week, two weeks, or possibly longer.

Finally you're looking at spending at least $120 to a few hundred dollars extra on hosting a year if you go with your own. If money is tight, you can use WA until your site can support itself.

With your site hosted here, you do get to use the comment give-and-take system.

Thanks

Main Benefint - you own the asset.... you cant sell a siterubix subdomain because you dont own it

It seems I misread the initial Q LOL my bad, huge benefits included within WA hosting. Make the most out of it and get those 25 sites up and running. The more sites you have the lower the hosting cost per site

Thanks for the response! Multiple site discount sounds like a great deal. In our case, we plan to focus on building a single authority site rather that doing a bunch of mini niche sites, at least initially.

To your success!

Yes, I use a premium theme myself.
