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. Even if you choose to self-host your website, you are still paying monthly fees – to your web host.
In this video, I’ll talk about:
- 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!

Working with Lorna has been an excellent experience! The level of detail and information that she has is enormous. As a speaker in the Green Business Entrepreneurs Summit I was amazed at the quality and the amount of information that Lorna has about the green economy and the green social media scene.
Lorna hired me as a blogger to assist in a link building campaign for a top national solar company. Lorna manged the remote team with deft efficiency. I was very impressed to see that within 90 days, the client ranked #1 for a highly competitive solar keyword.
Lorna is adept at creating media that tells the story of social entrepreneurs, in a way that not only promotes the business, but inspires other entrepreneurs to follow in their footsteps. Her insightful videos, audio podcasts, and digital products provide detailed, step by step guidance on how to become a profitable, purpose driven business.
