So is it better to go big and buy a license or would simply hosting be ok.
Depends. Some hosts offer free control panels. I prefer to save the hosting money and buy the license. If you think you can save $15 a month by installing your own DA then it's imho worth it. The DA license will pay for itself in less than 2 years. Now this assumes you are going to be able to run a server for that long. Many go out of business in months and then of course it's a losing deal. I had my own server for years running Plesk before I decided to switch to DA.
Plesk is another control panel that's imho better than Cpanel but it's expensive. It used to be cheap but the company was bought out and the pricing structure changed.
