More control over the “styling” or theming in general would be incredible but I’d settle for improving/fleshing out widgets

Better widgets and options surrounding them. They introduced widgets and it hasn’t gotten much attention from Apple or app developers since.

Linode. It’s a pretty basic Wordpress site on their shared hosting plan. It doesn’t get a lot of traffic so I haven’t really seen a reason to upgrade or switch.

I pay like $5 a month for web hosting. Not worth it to self-host a public e-commerce site on my own network.
