> I think its pretty straightforward to host things yourself. Said as a true developer who no longer realizes how hard some of the things we do are to the average person who can barely operate their computer or smart phone.

I still have to explain the basics of what a domain name is to potential freelance customers, and why they need hosting in order to have a website online. This is knowledge that is not common outside of the developer ecosystem.
