1. Initial capital required for the hardware.
2. Reasonably intermediate technical proficiency required for configuration and installation.
3. My computer device itself cost $70 to run per month and I do not host anything, but admittedly I have a 31"5 and 24" screen running together. You need to check your electricity bills.
4. Home internet is usually throttled by ISP, for instance I paid for 1GB optical fibre internet, but my ISP's router limited my upload speed to 121.6mbps and disconnects my Internet if I force it beyond.
5. You will need to know how to protect your computer, for Windows servers you'd need either software firewall or enterprise grade firewall such as Cisco, and GP set right. For Linux you'd need to know how to configure things like AppArmour or Selinux and Tiger /Tripwire.

are you ready to keep maintaining all hardware up to date and fix whats broken, power 24/7 no cuts high internet bandwidth that can support traffic and huge demand on the website if you can do this and make it online all the time then go for it ( i don't recommend this )

How do you force it beyond? I am more interested in this. Also OP I selfhost using a Rasberry Pi, I host CMS's that I am trying out
$70/mo for a general purpose PC for electricity is really expensive! Where are you located? I run 2 servers and it's about $20-$25 a month on 24/7 (they have a draw of 140w-220w, measured by killawatt). I pay about $0.14/kwhr in the US. They're headless so no monitor.
The throttling occurs on the ISP side, not sure how you as the client can pull down more bandwidth than what the ISP has set.

Well, I'm in Singapore. The only thing that isn't expensive here is the air. I am using some sort of hybrid gaming-server PC with extended ATI board, and too many SSD till I can't shut my casing off. Maybe that's why it cost so much, I don't have any accurate measurement though. I did a measurement of my home's electricity cost when I was in Vietnam for almost a month and the next month's cost and that was the difference. Maybe give take $10 for variations I guess.
Hmm, I did say I am unable to pull down more bandwidth I believe.
