Like several others here I run my own websites and Wordpress blog (multiple personal websites & blogs actually), on my own hardware, co-located in a data center on an unfettered gigabit connection and spinning rust storage. CentOS for the OS, Plesk for admin. Web server, mail server, bunch of other services pointing this way and that. Costs me just shy of $100/month. My "blogs" are "one thought a day" (sometimes I post on this blog, sometimes I post on that blog) which also includes the list of movies I've watched (along with my brief thoughts), some TV shows (again with thoughts), books I've read (with mini-review), albums I've heard (with mini-review), art I've drawn, music I've made, problems I've solved, thought's I've thunk, and science papers I've digested. And it goes all the way back to 1976, from childhood drawings and musings about programming problems at 12 years old only to discover someone had the same thought decades earlier, all the way through to "I was standing in the shower this morning and had this thought about artificial intelligence..." I don't write to gain traction or popularity (tried it for a year, hated myself more than I usually do), and I am pretty sure if I did get any notoriety, I'd lose interest in publishing my writing on my blog pretty darn quick. I write because I want too. I want to gather my thoughts, and putting out something that someone else might read, even though nobody will read, means I have to actually pay attention to what I am saying about a subject.
