I can not find a good hosting, that one is expensive, but that does not fit. I decided to risk putting a server on my computer, could you write the pros and cons of this venture.

  • And what do you mean when you say that "I would venture to put on a computer, a server"? - D7na
  • I was told, if the protection is bad, they can easily clean you or the like. - oOKomarOo pm
  • What are you talking about? I do not quite understand .. What is there to protect against something and your server? And what exactly can you clean? - D7na
  • @dobermann It seemed to me that the vehicle is tupit ... hmm ... my opinion has changed ... ps. Hare stupid :) - BomBom pm
  • As an option, as a server, you can buy a single-board computer, it does not make noise, it consumes little electricity, and in itself is not very expensive. - Rumato

Pros:

  • You are your own master.
  • Plenty of room for your projects.

Minuses:

  • Constant computer noise.
  • The cost of electricity.
  • Killing your iron.
  • Very expensive.
  • You need to constantly monitor, maintain the server.
  • Permanent online, need funds to pay for traffic (if it is not unlimited)

I would not advise doing this masochism, do not take a few bucks and take yourself a normal hosting, there will be less hemorrhoids. I would recommend jino.ru. In any case, it will cost you less than your server. And I doubt that you will use all the power of your server.

  • Well, the server can be profitably purchased and used, which will be completely suitable for your needs, and at the same time (in the long run) will be much cheaper than any of the hosting sites. - D7na
  • one
    Anyway, it does not pay off, except that only take a few more clients on the server. - Elime
  • It will pay off, depending on what the project will be. - D7na
  • @Dobermann, If the author writes that he is looking for hosting:> I can not find good hosting so why does he need the resources of the whole server? It is clear that he has not a very big project there, if he is looking for a hosting. - Elime
  • You are your own master is not to say anything. For the sake of this advantage, you can make any sacrifices. Yes, and having your own server you can think about something large-scale without investing huge amounts of money, which of course is also important. @ Yoda - dedicated server to shoot it is not so expensive, but expensive. Unit costs for bespereboynik - solve the problem of electricity. As for support, it depends on who it is. About the unacceptable for serious projects - nonsense. Naturally, this is not about home Internet channel. And yes - no hosting will not replace your server, you need to understand the difference between KAGGY - Zowie

Pluses are available when two conditions are met:

  • if there is an unnecessary computer,
  • if there is free fast internet.

Minuses:

  • no support (the owner went on vacation - the server fell),
  • no reliability (disconnected electricity in the stairwell, the server fell),
  • no speed (ordinary home network),
  • it's not that cheap (calculate the cost of electricity and traffic).

For more or less serious projects, the home server is unacceptable because of the above minuses. Generally speaking, there are many good web hosts.

  • and thank you =) - oOKomarOo

In any case, a home server is a great way to become a good sysadmin.

  • Perhaps, but as it was written above, this is more mazahism ... - BomBom
  • Any process of learning (especially self-study) is somewhat masozism - skegg
  • If the author has a task to become a sysadmin, it would be useful to make your server. - Elime
  • Yeah, you just need to start with the demolition of windows, parting with the games and greeting the linux ... - Zowie
  • AlexWindHope, and after a month of using linux, I returned to windows today (yes, hello games!: D). Yuzal ubuntu, some kind of unfinished it .. - Elime

If hosting is not suitable, so you can rent a virtual server, if it is from a bourgeois company, then it is not very expensive. I think it will cost less than exactly your home server.
