Is there any benefit to host my own instance?

Running my own instance using AWS's free tier for now, though I think I'll keep it after. It makes scaling soo easy and simple if my instance ever takes off. Which I don't know if it ever will lol. The reason why I even created one is to actually use my domain name for something rather than keep paying for a domain that I'll never use for anything.
