I have on old P4 linux server, using iptables/netfilter and https://freedns.afraid.org/ for dynamic DNS (openwrt router firewall & port forwarding), domains and another www site registered via http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net I'm still trying to find time for email (lots of choices, have sendmail running internally, just lazy...) but mumble and apache running. Its a good learning experience to set it up at home - nice to have physical access to the server and your own linux distro (Slackware FTW!). Its also good not to depend on the vagaries of corporate entities. you'll have research which email server (sendmail, postfix. etc, I don't have a particilar favorite) fits your need as well as keep up with security so that you domain doesn't end up on a spam blacklist.
