Re: Nice deal said by user3657:said by Tzale:I agree X3. There is no way you can run a server in your home better than a datacenter for half the price. -Tzale i dont....im running a forum with 1600 members and we share 40gigs of files.....the specs and bandwith i use would cost me like 100$(for a ded server) a month at an isp. but im paying ool an extra $15 to be able to host severs. 15>100. not to mention i can install anything i want, and if there is an issue i can fix it then having to wait. 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.
