Advantages of hosting and opportunities for customization
-
Hi. I’m new to WordPress. What is the advantage of hosting my site on something like Azure or AWS versus just leaving it where it is (on WordPress servers I guess).
It seems like I have access to all the plug-ins and themes either way.
Do I have more opportunities for customizing certain files? Say I want to add some jQuery or CSS. Can’t I do that either way?

If your blog will be a storage for all your writing, and no need to develop further (e.g. for any advertising attached to youg blog) then i think it is OK if you stay on WP servers.
But if you want more and had other project ( as i had said : e.g. ads on your blog) then having a self hosted WP is better.

Thanks for your response. It will be a site for a business. How is it better to host it?

Its better to have self hosted WordPress for you can have more complete feature, more options to manage blog property, also make any customization setting.

I’m reviewing some of the settings that are available with various themes. They are pretty limited. For example, what if I want to change the background color to an option that is not available in the wp-admin / customize area?
Can I add my own css file to the website? Edit some of the html? Add JavaScript files?
Where would I actually go to add things like that?
It shouldn’t matter what hosting service I’m using as I will have access to the file structure that I can see (wp-admin / wp-content).
If this is too much to get into here, please direct me to a tutorial or something that explains what I’m looking for.
