Good one. :)
If I were to host my email on a server at home, as he does, I would be
worried about remote access. What if the ISP is down when I need to
check my email, or at least access some info from an email that I
already received?
I have more trust in the uptime of professional hosting services than in
consumer-level ISPs. Mostly because telcos seem to have a "there is no
down-time" or "it must be your line, or your modem or your computer"
attitude towards customer inquiries into lack of internet access.
This might be misplaced trust, because I realize that cable/dsl internet
providers have to have a pretty good uptime most of the time for people
to want to pay for their service. I also admit that being paranoid
about the ocassional outage is just that (being overly paranoid) but I
try and work out what the best option is.
