Self-hosting always increases the operational burden of making sure your systems are secure. Maybe you have the engineering resources to spend on patching everything immediately and conducting in-house pen tests, but for most companies it's much, much more secure to let the software's developers host it as well.

In what tech company is hosting or domains the main cost centre? Many companies spend more on a single hour of a dev's time than their entire GH monthly bill.

Moving to gitea solved all of those issues for me (thus far), now I’m looking into adding other stuff like CI through Drone.
