Cost would be one thing, but the convenience of letting someone else manage the technical details, perform constant backups, etc., is immeasurable.
I have had a company host my site for 13.5 years and can't remember suffering a minute of downtime. I pay them about $50/month.
That adds up over time, but on the other hand, devoting a computer to use as a server and spending zillions of hours maintaining the enterprise is also a cost.
Guess it depends on what you think your time is worth. Some people enjoy messing with that kind of thing, but not me
