I had an managed webspace for half my life. It was a hassle. Going to self-hosted was the best thing. - No more expiring certs (and I don't have to pay a premium for them) - No more Apache - I can decide which versions of PHP, Python or ehatever I run - I can write simple bash scripts that email me in certain situations - I can install tools that I need and debug problems so much more easily This was it for me, I accept that for other people that equation might look fundamentally different.
