Im sick of crappy web host reliability and outrageous prices for dedicated servers.

I have a dsl connection that is always on and supplying internet access to several boxes through a router.

I have a static ip with my dsl account.

Could I host my website on one of my own computers? Would this by any better or worse than a dedicated server account with a web hoster? How so?

btw, I am not concerned about periodic backups ... nothing mission critical on this site
