What I Might Do with This Platform
In the future, I envision using this site as a personal portfolio where I can showcase my work, share blog posts, and even experiment with new web design skills. It could also serve as a platform for professional networking, helping me stand out in job or internship applications.
Benefits of Hosting My Own Site
One major benefit of hosting my own site is the freedom it offers. Unlike social media platforms or third-party services, I have full control over the content and design of my site. This autonomy allows me to create a space that truly represents me without worrying about changing algorithms or platform restrictions.
Drawbacks of Hosting My Own Site
However, there are some drawbacks. Managing a site requires ongoing plan and management, such as updating plugins, monitoring security, and troubleshooting issues. Additionally, there’s a learning curve, especially for someone like me who is new to web hosting——I keep forgetting the ways for each function on the website. Despite these challenges, the process has been rewarding and empowering.
