To me, the rest seem pretty obtuse.
In 2018 people should be talking of self-hosting, not about paying web hosting (that are likely to resell cloud services)
I think paying for web hosting is one step above letting FB control your data.
Of course, self-hosting is the best position to be in, but not everyone has a stable internet connection or the technical know-how to do that. Although, I would love for both of those to start moving in the right direction, baby steps first.
there are literally web/ssh/vnc/ftp/etc server apps for android…
hosting your own servers is easier than ever…
tho stable net is one obstacle, the bigger one is ISPs not allowing incoming traffic…
It sucks that ISPs have made it so difficult to have a home server - not impossible, just more difficult than it needs to be.
If there was an iOS/Android app made to turn a phone into a server, that’d be incredible – I’d love to have people dial into my cellphone which hosts a BBS, but alas that’s only a dream.
I agree with the title.

dialing part might be a dream, but server part definitely isn’t…tho your server will probably not reach the internet cause dam ISPs deciding so…
