Why?

For over a year I have a wordpress website hosted on Hostinger.This is more than fine for what I needed and still is to be honest. The reason I moved to a new setup has two aspects. First and foremost I wanted to learn. I am very interested in web development, but until now I have not gone further than writing the code for websites. I wanted to have a look into the broader aspects of webdev. And I also liked the extra control I have. With Wordpress you already have a lot of control, but this way the only things I don't fully control myself is the infrastructure for hosting my website and my content and the software to interact with my blogging content.
