There are more reasons to self host a website than to use a third party. For starters, your data, including non-public confidential data, can easily be read by your webhost or server provider. Secondly, you probably already have a very strong computer at home that is sitting idle, online, all day. Third, you might be a developer. Fourth, if you want to host your own BlueSky instance, you'll can do so on your own computer.
Instead of paying a third party, it really makes sense to host yourself!
