I wonder why he chose to buy vs rent.

  I think everyone has to go through that cycle at least once. At one point, I had 12 servers in our study. Eventually the wife decided that the ungodly humming and tangle of wires had to go. Haven't hosted "in-house" since.

    I went through that cycle too. I had a couple of profitable websites hosted in my garage in a rack cabinet. They had a UPS. I went on holiday which was a 6 hour drive away. On the way out, I got word on my mobile that the sites were down. It was too late to turn back with the kids in the car etc. That night I drove 6 hours home, reset our houses power switch which had tripped for some reason, and spent another 6 hours driving back. (This time I left a key with a neighbor). I got back to the holiday house just in time for the kids to wake up... 2 weeks later when we returned from holiday I got a dedicated server at a hosting co.

  What kind of internet connection do you need to host at home?
