I was considering moving my "Development Hosting" in-house. If I also bring in a few "unimportant" sites, by my calculations it will be a savings of ~$700 a year. I was going to up my DSL service to get some static IPs, use GoDaddy for DNS service (and email, for those unimportant sites).
I have most of the software I need, but would have to spend some money up-front for a server. And, I'll probably have to have some electrical to figure out why we keep blowing fuses (I think 90% of this house is wired to the same fuse). An associate of mine has a T1 into his house, although he was thinking of cancelling. The reason was to try to spin off a hosting portion of his business, which he only had moderate success with. Anyone have any tips for buying a server?
