Self hosting is like being Ferdinand Magellan  all over again. Some will make it back to Europe. Some will be beached in the middle of the Pacific. Some will be killed in the Philippines. Is it worth it? Sure it is but not for everyone. Somebody has to do it, if for no other reason than to say that humanity achieved it.

I got as far as installing XAMPP on my computer. Then I got scared that I would fall off the ocean. I turned back because our ship sprung aleak. My crew threaten to mutiny. We were booed when we got back to the harbor but at least we lived to tell the story.
