I dont have hosting server so cannot host my own sites so I take hosting form hosting companies. And I get it sometimes in return of my online work.

less worrying on your part too.

Servers are expensive. Unless your running your own hosting company then it would be the biggest waste of money to host yourself. A cheap server is $100/month, now a good server on the other hand.. A good host shouldnt be more than 8-10 dollars a month. Let's way this.. bad server: $100/month good host: $8-10/month?? Also anyone considering starting a hosting company, make sure not to offer unlimited bandwidth :P

I use web hosting companies, I'm soon gonna get that downtownhost.com package when I get enough money.

I still have web server running all the time on my machine, I use it to debug and test my programs I code.

I have only used hosting companies. If I start making more and more websites then I will look into a server. But right now I am happy with my hosting.

At the moment I do not hosts any sites on my own. If anyone is looking for info on how to setup your own server on a DSL connection, check out this great resource: DSL/Cable Webserver - Run your own webserver from home on DSL or Cable!

I'd have to say that hosting your own sites is a bad idea, really bad idea, first of all its gonna take a lot of bandwidthm you will load slow, your ISP might cut ya off, then you would have a lot more attacks to your computer, you can host a game server at home or shoutcast but not a http server
