    I hosted my sites few years back from my home computer. My internet connection went so slow that simple webpage took 10-20 seconds to load.

    Hey you can certainly do it. But hosting has become too cheap. Hosting from home has its own hassles...

    1. You have to keep your PC on 24/7

    2. You will burn up your upstream bandwidth

    3. With ADSL/Cable/DSL connections we have average downstream but low upstream which means your site would load slow for visitors.

    4. You need to maintain your own hosting server

    5. For hosting you will have to open up your port to internet, any leak could bring in trojans...

    But hosting outside would give you faster and reliable hosting at an econocial price ;)

    well free hosting is also available ;)
