The disadvantages of owning and running a website
The setting up process can be harder than you might imagine, even with drag & Drop sites
WordPress has become the number one to use for many people, as they offer a wide choice of templates if you use them for your hosting
As I did with this site, but if you thing you will be able to use any and all plugin’s (like I did you will be disappointed
WordPress did give me the use of some, but I think they came under Free, and if I wanted other plugin’s I have to upgrade to a business level
More expense on top of the hosting cost, plus they didn’t offer a domain named email address
Even Google suggested a domain named email address and promoted it to me as the more professional choice
I settled for a free Gmail email address since my site is based on Free information
WordPress is far easier to use than having to learn how to use c-panel and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) which you need to use with c-panel sites
Another drawback to running your own hosted website, you are both the owner but you also become the boss in charge of finance including paying ongoing bills
As to content this is also your responsibility, some site owners prefer to add videos while I prefer written content which can be a challenge at times
Backup copies of all the contents is also a duty of the site owner, either with automatic plugin or manual
I am considering inviting guest writers to add their content to my site, if anyone would be interested let me know in the comments
The content must be available as Free, in keeping with my site
Preferably original articles which will need to be examined by myself before being published
