My VDS died a couple of weeks ago, taking my email server and blog with it. I've switched my email to a third party service, and if I restore my blog it'll probably be to github pages.
I spent 16 years maintaining those things in the decentralized style, and I think it's fair to say that effort was of literally no benefit to anyone, other than the hosting company I paid hundreds of pounds to for the ultimately doomed VDS. It's a relief to have finally handed them over to people whose job is to maintain them.
Edit: Also when my blog had a comments section I got like 10-20 legit responses to posts and hundreds of spam messages that were a huge pain to manage.
