I have a WordPress site. Paid at personal level.

I can't use plugins unless I upgrade to a business plan at $25/month.

Way too much.

@EricLawton @Sarahp @die_socke I did that for a year and it was horrible. Self hosted is the way to go. I pay $300 for two years. They set it all up for me, all I have to do is manage it.

The only drawback is that you no longer are part of the wordpress.com discovery unless you purchase one of the jetpack options.

@EricLawton @Sarahp @die_socke @Mrfunkedude There is always self hosting. I pay I think $10/month to Digital Ocean, run 4 Wordpress sites on it with their own domains (plus a 5th, Python Flask Blog).

If I needed it it would be easy to scale it up too but I have never needed it.

Plenty of tutorials to install Apache/SQL/PHP, though I think Digital Ocean offeres Droplets with Wordpress pre installed.
