Home hosting is great for testing. I have been doing this for years.
It's not a serious option for live sites. Dyn IP, slow upload speeds and physical security are all an issue.
I would recommend duckdns as a solution for dyn ips.
I measured the cost of running a box 24/7 with ssds and an i5 6th gen cpu. Around £3 per month.
- xupybd 5y agoI have close to gigabit up and down. I also have a static IP. I'd still avoid hosting at home. It's very hard for me to get the same reliability I can out of a cheap host online. It's not worth the time maintaining critical infrastructure.
- p0d 5y agoI agree. I don't think clients or businesses are also expecting their personal data to be stored in your bedroom :-)
- marto1 5y agoIt's not a serious option for live public sites. Running your own grafana, gitlab, postgres, etc. is perfectly viable and I've been doing it for years now.
