Re: Nice deal said by axus: Running a website at home would be pretty cool  Trust me, it gets old really fast. Dealing with all the script kiddies is a pain in the rear, even running a Linux box. I decided to let a service provider deal with it. |

There is no way you can run a server in your home better than a datacenter for half the price.

Note that I said "BETTER." There is no way your OOL line can compete with a data center.... However, I do admit you can certainly do it... I know I have in the past, but it's not the best setup. What site are you running? Interested in checking it out.

For something informal, you are right. But Tzale  added a very important qualifier, "BETTER" ...
Sure, your uptime is probably good ... but a datacenter offers multiple redundant network paths, conditioned air (cooled and at the proper humidity), conditioned power, and battery/diesel backup.
The network is also typically one hop away from multiple Tier-1 providers and doesn't have to pass through a "Best Effort" last mile network.
