In the past few weeks, I’ve been working on moving my little space to a self-hosted domain. Of course, as a person who has ZERO idea on how to self-host & what not, this wasn’t an easy decision.
There were several reasons why I made this choice: Firstly, while wp.com offers the option of simply giving me a domain name, I figured that the long-run costs would exceed that of self-hosting. Next, with more reads & followers, I figured it’d be a good time to update the space & give myself the option of having more customization. As much as wp.com offers beautiful free themes & widgets, a self-hosted blog using the wp.org Jetpack allows me to have awesome plug-ins & a whole lot more customization. Also, I didn’t want to build up a whole lot of subscribers to my wp.com & then have to shift them over (I can’t actually do that so they’ll have to do it themselves… a whole lot of trouble). Finally, my Facebook Page has reached that 1000 likes mark. AÂ huge thank you to everyone who has supported me, be it my friends, family or just fellow bakers & recipe lovers! (Of course, I wouldn’t want it to be stagnant at 1000 likes – do share the love if you enjoy reading this hehe)
