Hosting a server at home solves this. Also I need to run the Abyss Web Server, the only way to do this with paid hosting is to buy a root access server, which cost just that bit more.
Having a server at home also allows faster updates, you have to remember the slow upload again when it comes to transferring larger files to the FTP. If the server goes down, its my fault, and no one elses, and it relies on me to fix it.

Dedicated servers aren't as expensive as they used to be
you can get servers in the US for $80 or so (sometimes less) on 10mbit with 1000gb bandwith depending on what you want in the way of spec.
http://webhostingtalk.com is a good place to look for a host.
as for downtime a server in a DC is more likely to be up more than a server at your house seing as they have redundent power and usally multiple routes to the internet.
