"BTW, uptime 100% 90% or whatever is not an indication of a good server....neglected one may be!! But not always!!"

What?! The better the uptime the better the server and the connection is. Without the server, the connection is useless and without the connection the server is useless.

"In my house I have Fedora Core 4 installed in my laptop with Apache, SSH, FTP running….and I use www.DynDNS.org!!!!"

I use no-ip.com and Abyss Web Server (proven to be more stable than Apache, but thats a different argument), big deal.

"I don't know why anyone would want to host a server using NTL's connections when you can free up bandwidth and resources by using shared hosting. When companies like Mher.org(1$/month) can supply decent hosting so cheaply it negates the need to host anything at home."

Exactly the reason: "Not everything is possible on shared hosting including VPS....sometimes the TOS limits your actions......such as hosting questionable sites for instance!"

I run a server from home because I have REAL root access, not virtual. Its not a not a virtual server, its a real one. Is 500% easier running one at home that at somewhere else in the world where I have to FTP 70GB of website data. Yes, 70GB.

Also, I hate Apache. Im supporting a piece of software called Abyss Web Server and its only possible to use it on a private or dedicated server with root access.

I really dont see what people have against running a server at home... Whatever floats your boat I say...
