This is not my idea, many people have created home servers before. I wouldn’t expect anyone to actually use their home server unless they could afford to keep it on all the time, I am just using this for experimenting and learning the system, the alternative is to pay for hosting online, which is quite cheap now. The good thing about having your own server is you can put whatever you like on it. For instance on mine I have put Openfire a jabber chat server, an svn and trac server so I can host code projects on there and other stuff. On most commercial hosting packages you don’t have the freedom to do this, unless you’ve paid for some sort of dedicated server or virtual server.
