    If you want to host for your personal sites, you will need a modem / router to allow you NAT public IP to your private IP.

    However, if you want to do business with *home server*, I would suggest to stay away. It's your home, not a datacenter, unless you spend million dollars into it, and want to live there :)

    You can also download a free Windows 2008 Server Trial for 240 days, which is great, then you can learn how to configure IIS 7.

    Then, for hosting (if you want to host some website thru an automated system), you can use DotNetPanel.

    But for simple/home hosting, you can stick just with IIS 7.

    you'll host websites at your home? that's crazy. even if you'll go for a T1 line, still that wouldn't be enough if at least 1% of the internet users will visit your site simultaneously.

    It is much easier to hire a dedicated server to yourself. This is what you have to have for your "home server":
    -Power
    -Fast internet Connection
    -Cost of Server ($XXXX)
    -Cost of Software (unsure but probably $XXXX)
    -Security
    -etc etc

    In other words, you are giving yourself a lot of unnecessary work that you don't need to be doing.
