Running your own servers

[inwybx]

Hello,

Have you ever considered running your own server on your own home PC? What would that require? Will the cost for running one's own server be less or more than the cost of paid hosting?

Many of the users have tried to do this but almost all of them discontinued this as it's a very expensive option and it neither serves the purpose properly. A server runs 24x7 with no issues of power supply or network connection and the environment and infrastructure of the datacenter is much more better than what it is at home or office. Hence, a home PC never serves the purpose properly and the overall cost is much more than what you will have to pay for a server with a fully managed hosting provider.
