I spent a good number of hours a couple of weekends ago getting software updated on my dedicated server and removing the Plesk admin interface that had been pre-installed about 2 years ago. As I have been configuring my copy of Wordpress, I stopped to ponder why I need to have control over where I host my files…

It isn’t as though hosting my automagic musings on another server would really be all that bad. I wouldn’t have to manage the software updates or keep track of bugs and hackers. Yet despite the risk of screwing things up, I still prefer having control over my data. I pay a monthly hosting fee to have access to a linux system which I’m free to do with as I wish. I enjoy that freedom.

Short Version: Programmers <3 control.
