One of the sites I use, which shall remain nameless, is down today. I know for a fact that the person who runs it hosts it himself.

One thing that I simply cannot wrap my brain around is why in the world anyone, in this day and age, would even dream of hosting a live Web site themselves, out of their house. When you can put your site in the cloud at Amazon, or in the hands of a professional data center crew for under $50 a month, WHY oh WHY do people insist on hosting things themselves??? Is it pride? Ignorance? Refusal to face the fact that the server you bought for thousands of dollars five years ago is now next to junk status? I just don’t get it…
