One difficult decision that many small business owners face is whether or not they should pay monthly fees to have their website hosted on a platform that’s maintained by a website solutions provider, or whether they should download website software, and host the website themselves.

- The difference between a hosted versus self-hosted website.
- The pros and cons of hosted versus self-hosted web solutions.
- The two factors you need to consider before you make your decision.
- The one key consideration if you decide to self-host your website using open-source software that will affect the quality of your life!
