Instead of getting a fixed IP address at my house, and having a noisy machine running all the time - I think I might want to try renting a dedicated FreeBSD server. It would be used for running Apache, phpBB, email, listserv, and a few other services. I found several places that have dedicated FreeBSD machines to rent, their prices seems to all be $99 a month.
Is there a cheaper or better option? Maybe a virtualized server or a jail?
Whatever you do, make sure that the server you get has redundancies built into it -- redundant power supplies, mirrored disks, ECC RAM etc. These are thing things that keep your machine up and running even when there are failures. They separate the crap servers from the professional ones.
