I enjoy 'playing' with self-hosting things, as I learn that way. However, I would never host anything important. Why ? If I'm in an accident and hospitalised, or something similar, there is no way my family will be able to manage/maintain/troubleshoot the systems. There's a reason they all use gmail/gdocs, and it's not because they love Google. I am a lifelong fan and user of technology, but the 'lay person' typically isn't and really doesn't want to be. Managed services may remove any semblance of privacy, but they offer the one thing that most everyone wants - convenience.
