it just dawned on me...
hosting your own website is nearly as big a deal as I used to think it was.... : sigh: no challenge....someone hack me or something. LOL. either way..discussion topic is: tell me your hosting expereinces! 
I ran a hosting company for over eight years, and worked at a national ISP.
I'd never offer it again. Too little pay, too much work, far too many headaches. I cannot comprehend how someone could think it is easy. The market is beyond over-saturated with competitors, and customers have impossible expectations.
Hosting = insanity.

Can everyone just take a moment to fantasize about two independent OC 48 connections to your house, in addition to 2 independent wireless connections - just for safety's sake.
I would love to host in my house - but exactly the reason that deadlyspork said -> giant snowstorm and you're stuck in vermont, there goes 3 days of uptime.
Cleaning lady unplugs the computer when she runs into the desk with the vacuum while you're at work? 8 hours.
you come home from the bar where you were rejected by a cute girl? you might have the sudden impulse to throw your computer out the second story window.
So many problems, so few solutions.
