Home web server

[teddy-5sHjOODPK7E at public.gmane.org]

If it is for business. dont run a home server.
Most home connections push 80k to120k/sec, which is very slow.
Plus you are almost guaranteed of not getting a static IP from your 
provider.
I think you would be much better off getting a dedicated or virtual 
server from a web hosting company and using a static ip.
If you do decide to run the server from home,.set it up so it can be 
relocated to a datacenter when that time arrives.
