Hmmm,

Never touch mine. Cost me zero minutes each week.  Cant even remember what
OS it uses. It just sits there and works.
Files get updated overnight by batch files calling executables etc and also
over the network.

If you time is worth anything using a hosting service is the way to go.
Seems like keeping up with security, patches, etc is a continuing education
that really doesn't help access development. If this is a hobby go for it.
