For email/https/owncloud/vpn you really need something hosted rather than at home.
The whole thing will set you back about $10 per year for domain + DNS (name.com for example) and $10 per month for hosted machine at https://www.linode.com/pricing or AWS - if you have the patience to put all the little AWS pieces together and figure out your monthly price yourself. Then you just install your favorite linux distro, email, https, get cert from Let's encrypt, setup domain and DNS records properly, so that you get your email working, ..... sky is the limit. Upgrading or experimenting with your host is easy, just start another host, do your stuff and destroy it or destroy the old one. Cloud hosting providers charge hourly, so having another machine for one day will coast you $10/30~$0.33 You will learn a lot about security, backups and Spamassassin!
