> It’s especially nice as it doesn’t lock you into a saas like wix or square space or lots of other $10+/month services But people need hosting, and that's primarily the selling point of using a paid closed source WYSIWIG alternative. WP gets a bad rap because people buy terrible shared hosting to keep it cheap. At some point they will also need to open up Cpanel or some domain management UI to fix something and UX-wise it's downhill from there. |

There’s one wix host. You’re never getting your data out of them.
Also that means Wordpress is or can be near free. I’ve paid $30/year for a random cpanel host for decades (same price, woot!). I think I host multiple Wordpress sites for friends or old corworkers. I don’t charge them anything. I don’t even know how many I host. I don’t care. So it’s free to them.
Or if I wanted to host a standalone site, $3/month is cheap. And I can port to anywhere.
Also, Wordpress hosts for $10/month too.
