I never thought much about hosting when I started building sites I'd connect the domain get everything live and forget about it then a few months later I'm dealing with renewals, deployments, SSL redirects and some random issue I barely remember setting up in the first place

Maybe I'm just tired of managing separate tools but I've started preferring having hosting tied into the same place I'm building the site I get why you'd want full server control for bigger or more technical stuff for a normal marketing site though I don't know, having fewer things to mess with has been way nicer
