I completely stopped using 3rd party hosting solutions when I discovered how easy it was to deploy tiny SBCs like Raspberry PI and Libre computers. My sites receive little traffic. I don't even bother posting a privacy policy. So far, no one has cared or noticed.
I don't want people hitting my home network for that. Hosting is $54 a year, it's worth that to have someone else take the abuse. Mine receives a decent amount, as in maybe 60-100 hits per post, and the remote host has better uptime than my home service.
I post the policy mostly because it's anti- everyone else. Mine says "Yeah, someone is going to fuck you. Too bad."
I do have some stuff running on my home network, but that's mostly just some crap that I use for testing ideas.
