Why not Personal Hosting?

Posted Sat, 08/01/2009 - 07:48 by admin

Here are the pros/cons I see:

+ Cheap
+ direct access to my server
- super slow up-speed (768kb), still at near zero load the initial web page load is ~8-10sec (bad..but not horrid), after that 1 second load.
+/- Have to do everything myself (already done) (well this is good for learning), but I admit I am no security expert, but I do know how to setup a hardware firewall which is in place.
+ Can control Hardware/dedicated hardware (currently 4GB/dual core AMD) (I suspect this will be superiour to a hosting service at $30.0).
- No backup process (as of yet)
- NO Verified SSL Cert installed (and not running Native AJP) yet...

= (SSL cert should be easy to buy/install)
= (Native AJP..was a versioning issue on previous attempt..should be fixed now however)

- No email services (looks like googleApps will solve this for Free for my purposes)

= Should be a cakewalk once mx records r in place.
= Mainly outgoing notications. & support email.

- not so reliable a network (heh..server is actually running on my wireless..N network..crappy..can be fixed with 100ft cable.)
- really just prolonging the inevitable (but its cheaper...)

Pros/cons of using a real hosting company: (say ~$30.00/month)
- costs money
+ fast (well faster then my dsl anyways)
+ bigger pipe (bandwidth)..but limited quantity of up bytes a month.
+ reliability unknown
+ nicer built in tools for monitoring, etc. (I have zero of these atm).
+ 'can get professional' advice on some things.
- No control of cpu load (I'm assuming at ~$30.00) I will not have dedicated hardware.
+ Automated backups (I assume any decent service plan will have this)

so..playing with fire I'm curious what people really say about hosting a small website on my personal dsl line..considering atm I have zero users. But that can be expected for website that has not been released yet.

Thoughts?
obviously there are more pros if i use a hosting solution..but I think near term for 'initial launch', and 'beta testers' etc..home hosting should work just fine...on the flip side..I should probably get the 'experience' of using a hosting company during the beta roll out..sigh..

Cons:

* Your isp probably has a "no server" clause. Best case, you don't get caught, or find that typical "server" ports are blocked in such a way to prevent you from running servers more than just locally. Worst case, you find yourself without internet for having violated their ToS.
* Most have a business package or "home office" type package that allows you to run servers, but it's going to be WAY more expensive than your current package. (Unless you already have the more expensive pacakge.)

Beyond that, if you are just looking at a test bed for a few friends and family to come make sure your page works, there is nothing wrong with home hosting that.
