From or to a self-hosting website.
I’ve toyed with the idea of going the self-hosting route several times. But I always back away.
Why? Because for me WordPress.com is simpler and easier than learning an entire new system. Plus, I don’t want my writing to suffer nor do I want my website to suffer either. I fear that something would have to give one way or the other should I make a shift at this time.
For me, my website is a place to practice my storytelling, and to share what I learn, as I learn about writing. Do I want my blog to be successful? Of Course! But not at the expense of becoming a better writer.
The following is a good article about self-hosting.

I think I’d think long and hard about what the advantages might be, before I switched. But good luck whatever you decide.
