Users - Hosting Requirements

cjhowe
With the better ISP offerings (Verizon FIOS 2 and 5
MBit Upload, barring any server restrictions), does
the small to medium size business who isn't strictly
an ebusiness have a reasonable option of hosting their
deployment from their residence?  Given the following
"average SMB" spare parts lying around, what are the
advantages to still using data centers, etc?  Also, at
what point (how many average ofbiz page views) does
that upload capacity begin to noticably degrade
noticable the end user experience?

1.5 GHZ processor computer
1 GB RAM
40 GB HD
DVD Burner for Backups
Windows XP or a Easy Linux Distro

The obvious advantages are:
Redundant Power Supply
Redundant Internet connections
physically secure hardware (flood, fire, etc as well
as from disgruntaled employees)

what else?

It seems to me the biggest issues are:

Reliable Bandwidth
Reliable Power
Reliable Security
Monitoring and Support
Static IP

Many broadband users will have trouble getting a truly Static IP,
although it doesn't sound like this will be an issue for you.

It probably would pay to try to host the box yourself for a while,
especially while you are getting everything started. You can always move
at some point in the future after it is setup and running smoothly.
