Although today it may seem that social networks are everything, the truth is the priorities of these services at best change and at worst, they simply disappear. For example, ten years ago it was possible to upload long clips to blip.tv and today, it no longer exists, since all its contents have been deleted.
Same case with the free hosting services of yesteryear (do you remember miarroba.com or iEspana?), Which with its loss and disappearance, also lost a part of the history of the internet.
Not to mention changes in content priorities, like Tumblr and its decision to hide suggestive blogs even for archival or educational reasons.

So, there is nothing like having your own place on the net be it for your work portfolio, business site, personal blog or a simple curiosity.
We share 5 things that you can only do with your own web hosting
1. A more professional image when doing business
When buying a hosting and domain, you can (obviously) have your own website with a custom URL, which gives you a more sophisticated image when it comes to networking or with potential clients. Pepeperez.com is not the same as googlesite.com/pepeperez.
Also, designing your site (or taking advantage of some of KIUBIX's specialized services) will give you a unique part of the web, away from the usual templates in builders much more expensive and they hijack your data.
2. Have a kind of simple cloud
Through FTP or even with simple modifications to a WordPress installation, you can use your server to store some key files in your daily life or to backup or share some information faster than with WeTransfer or Dropbox. Just put a password on them and don't forget to delete them when the emergency happens!
It is not the most orthodox use, but personally it has helped me to leave large .zips uploading when I have to leave home, just giving a time range and the specific URL to the destination.
3. Have subdomains, with multiple sites
A somewhat extreme case, but still useful. Think that your last name Alfaro Lomelí and you buy your hosting and domain in alfarolomeli.net. So, you yourself (if your name is Pedro) can have your own site at pedro.alfarolomeli.net and also your brother (let's think, Adrian) at adrian.alfarolomeli.net.
With this same logic, you can group under sites in a matrix and thus save a certain sense of brand.
4. You don't marry a single content manager (CMS)
In the KIUBIX hosting service you can perform multiple installations in a few clicks thanks to the Softaculous Auto Installer, which includes not only WordPress but other options such as Joomla and Drupal, as well as various forum or debate systems.
5. You are the absolute owner of your data, files and information
Virtual or with Cpanel functions, hosting services like KIUBIX (ranging from a simple one to dedicated servers) allow you to export and backup your databases, files and data. No one else will ever hold you hostage.
[…] Brand, you should not miss out on transferring some favorable opinions to your own website (which must have a quality hosting service), to improve the perception of your brand before picky consumers or […]
