Making my own interests me, mainly for the experience. I'm not a 
computer guy but did set up a file server for the house at one point and 
would like to do it again. Adding a web server would be an interesting 
project, although it might be too much for my skill level.

My first thought... what would be the impact wrt the service provider? 
Naturally I'd need a company that allows accessing servers, so am 
wondering if it would end up costing me more than using a web hosting 
company.

I need something for an income tax preparation business that I have 
started, so this is a timely thread for me.
