The Downsides of Self-Hosting Your Applications at Home

Follow
DB Tech

You may be asking yourself, "should I self host?" We'll talk about that in this video.

Selfhosting your applications at home has a number of potential downsides, including:

Cost: You will need to purchase your own hardware, which can be expensive. You will also need to pay for electricity and internet access.
Complexity: Selfhosting can be complex. You will need to set up and maintain your own hardware and software.
Reliability: If your power goes out, or your internet connection goes down, your applications will be unavailable. And if your hardware fails, you will need to replace it before you can get your applications back up and running.
Security: You will be responsible for securing your own hardware and software. This can be a challenge, especially if you are not familiar with security best practices.

In addition to these downsides, selfhosting may also not be the best option for everyone. If you are not comfortable with the complexity and security risks, or if you do not have the time and resources to invest in selfhosting, then it may be better to use a cloudbased hosting provider.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to selfhost your applications is a personal one. There are both pros and cons to consider. If you are not sure whether or not selfhosting is right for you, I recommend talking to a trusted IT professional.

Here's the video where I talk about the benefits of selfhosting:
