Why should I get a VPS over self hosting? - eviltoast

A recent post here about 4th July sales has made me consider buying a VPS but the cost still seems a little steep. What are the main advantages of using a VPS?

    • Lower upfront costs and quicker to set up as you don’t have to buy the hardware
    • Don’t have hardware taking up space in your home
    • Flexibility of being able to scale up or down your specs (or get rid of the VPS entirely) at the click of a button
    • Don’t have to open your home network to the internet
    • Better uptime (not your job to fix outages)
