I kinda agree with KwikOne, i don't know what's the difference between having a server at home, or having a VPS somewhere else, you still get most of the functions that you need, you aslo get an SSH connection, and i think that makes it as good as if the server was just next to you, well maybe for some people it's not as easy to use the command line and they prefer to use a GUI, but i think cpanel and similar control panels make it easy to handle most of the tasks without having to enter command line commands, and most sites now lets you choose your operating system and control panel, and i think it's more reliable than having my own server, they handle the backups and of course they have better connections. of course the final pick is yours but I'm just trying to share what i think about this.
