WordPress hosted or Host on a private server?

Hi all, I am looking to build a low-traffic wordpress site. At first a few visitors a day as it's a niche area but this could grow to a few hundred. I plan to have product reviews (no commerce or purchase options), a news blog, sponsored ads, affiliate links/tracking, and embedded youtube videos.

Is there any benefit in paying and hosting on a private server or will I get everything I need by using an entry level WordPress site? Thanks!

  1. Self-hosting, and it’s not even close 😉

    Entry level WordPress.com is missing a bunch of core features that you need to be a proper website or plugins and themes.
