A big welcome to my “7 reasons to go self-hosted
)ith Wordpress”.
I must admit with my very frst blog it was a free one
from Wordpress because the thought of the technical
side of hosting my own blog scared me half to death.
Two months in though, I realised that it would be a big
mistae to stay on a free blog and that is when I built
my frst real blog. With many more than have followed
that frst one in late !""#.
I am sure many of you are lie me
and scared of setting one up, but
the great thing is that things have
changed a lot since then and it$s so
much easier now.

the opportunity to learn more about self hosted blogs
