    Hey there,

    How many people here use a server which they have at their own home? What are the requirements for that? Right now, I'm running a 100MBit upload/download, and I think it should be possible to have my own server at my home. That should be much cheaper then having a dedicated server, but I should be doing more technical support myself.
    Are there any other reasons why I should not do it, eventually?

    Also check that your ISP allow you to have incomming HTTP,DNS, SMTP, POP3 etc connections so you can host everything at home
