I'm a little bit late to the NAN hosting game. Are the self-hosting videos on platforms like Hostinger bottlenecks for providing NADN as a service?
Yes, the best option is to pay the default fee for a carefree experience with all the hassles. I'd love to see a video on this, as I was almost tempted to go self-hosting and learn the platform. I've tons of experience breakinging down barriers and obstacles of self-hosting and common apps affected by it, and how much more effort and time is needed to manage and maintain. Suffice to say, the reason I typically recommend cloud hosting everything is that you don't have to deal with deployment, DevOps, or additional environment variables and similar self-hosting concerns. As an automation specialist, believe it or not, your main point of value is not in your technical knowledge; it's in knowing just enough of the technicals to apply them to real business processes. Then you spend the rest of your time becoming a business person, a business expert. That's where the leverage lies with the alpha people who get really into self-hosting—they often lose the cart for the horse, spending so much time figuring out every little technical detail, spinning up Docker containers, getting environment variables right, and doing EngineX pass-through for webhook URLs. It's incredible how much time that takes. My recommendation is to focus on the things you actually get paid for—delivering value to your clients—not on designing the most optimal, technically and academically perfect solution.
