Question
In my country developing a full website is very cheap, it would run for about 700-1000 USD to have it up and running with Open Cart, with no monthly fees. Is there a reason I should consider using Shopify and do it myself? Is Open Cart comparable to Magento?
From what I can see the agency is not bad, this is one of their websites.

Answer
As Kevin has said there are a lot of advantages with SaaS shopping carts.
If you can manage your own server (or have people(s) who can then you should be fine. I could not image from an infrastructure point of view you would build your own physical servers and firewalls, etc... This is why you start out with a VPS from a company like AWS, Godaddy, etc...
Damn, even Digital Ocean has hosting for $5/month.
