More practically, or instead of and will suffice. That is, if you lack the expertise to set up your own server, it's okay to use someone else's provided you also keep local backups of all your work. For most people, keeping local backups is far more practical than running your own server.

There's one problem with that. If your hosting provider throws you out, you may not lose your work, but your followership will still be dispersed.

since reading the prag prog book a decade ago, I started putting everything I can in version control. saved my ass several times so far. used my own svn server for a while, now using a combination of GitHub and AWS git (I think it's called codesource)
