All websites require hosting. While DIY solutions exist, they are often lower-quality with oversold specs, and can land your website in a ‘bad neighborhood’ of sites Google doesn’t like. Managing hosting yourself also comes with a bit of a learning curve, and requires regular updates and maintenance to ensure security and reliability, necessitating software installation and updates, plugin updates, SSL certificate updates, and more. For those with little time on their hands, or who don’t have the technical ability and know-how, a managed hosting service is often the ideal solution.
