I self-host. It's not for everyone, but if you have basic sysadmin  
skills and a high-speed connection with a static IP, it's a way to  
pretty much have complete control.

I've been burned by hosting companies in the past. (What do you mean,  
you changed from PHP 3 to PHP 4 without telling anyone? :-) So I just  
really prefer to do it myself. Plus, since the host is on my LAN, I  
can easily mount the server on my file system and treat it like a  
local file system.
