- You can save money on the costs associated with outsourcing the work of web server administration.

- If you are running a one-person operation, this makes the most sense.
Most people who procure web hosting services are small operations. Fortunately, a great number of web hosting providers have made the entire process of web site management plug-and-play, user-friendly, and intuitive. Thus, even if you are a nontechnical person with little to no experience with web server administration, web site development, and have no clue how to host your own website, the hosting provider can provide you with all of the tools that you need to get you up and running.
Surprisingly, this is the case both for managed, shared web hosting accounts, as well as dedicated web server hosting accounts. So even if you have a dedicated web server to which you have been given full administrative control, the hosting provider will often times preload the dedicated server with software (usually a web-based graphical interface) that allows you to manage the server on your own.
This way you won't have to delve too deep into the technical aspects of web hosting or development.
Of course, if you are a power user who knows how to host your own website and manage it entirely on your own, then you will have greater flexibility and control over what you can and can't do with your web hosting account.
Enjoy world-class excellence in web hosting like never before.
