Externally-hosted relays add value to #Nostr because
* they allow you to create a virtual, personalized space,
* they give companies an easy way to gain a professionally-managed relay or mirror,
* and they allow people in more restrictive jurisdictions to have a relay elsewhere.
That said, hosting a relay on your own machine adds value by expanding the number of physical computers hosting a relay and the number of persons who are relay admins. That aids censorship resistence and network resilience.
