Right. I have both, a home server and an externally hosted virtual
server. The external server is better for hosting web sites, while
the home server is better for unusual stuff like:
There is no reason why someone who wants *total* control could not run
their own VPS and Home Server. Using something like Proxmox[1] you
can run your own OpenVZ containers or KVM machines to host your
website and also experiment with the crash prone os's that you might
install in a new KVM. Obviously your connection and hardware would be
the two major factors in deciding on this method.
I have actually been doing this for quite sometime and it works quite
well.
