A recent post here about 4th July sales has made me consider buying a VPS but the cost still seems a little steep. What are the main advantages of using a VPS?

What do you mean, buy a VPS, you rent them as they are virtual. Do you mean a co-located dedicated server? And what is “self hosting” to you?
Apologies, I meant rent a VPS. When I mentioned self hosting I meant hosting it myself on my own hardware and my own network
Dunno, I host all my personal services at home. I do have VPS for public services, websites etc. If you host at home you still pay for power, hardware etc. That being said, you most likely want local storage which needs some cpu power anyway, so you can certainly host some services at home. In the end it’s a matter of personal preference mostly.
