A small little revolution happened, few having noticed now means that web servers can now be run off normal broadband connections without a static IP address. Host in your office or at home. If you move locations, no problem, simply connect the web server to the internet and 20 minutes later your sites will be up again. Since many don't have all the knowhow to put together a web server WebHostingInJapan.com offers pre-configured web servers. Once these boxes are connected to a broadband connection your web site will be up in 20 minutes.
Why Host Your Own Web Server?
#1
On both Linux and Windows platforms traditional web hosting companies do not allow installation of software. So if you want to run Win2K/IIS/SQL Server/MS Exchange then your out of luck. If you want to become a SAP application server provider, again your out of luck. Want to practice installing Linux as a web server or test Java applications under severe load, again not a chance.
#2
Host whatever you want. Have you ever taken the time to read a terms of service policy? Ours is here. Terms of Use policies are pretty generic and basically says, "You can't do anything that someone might complain about or slightly inconvenence us."
It limits companies from persuing marketing campaigns using bulk emailing.
Limits the type of content you can put on your web site. So if you have a consumer protection or a web site that is politically incorrect and someone complains then traditional web hosting providers will take down your site without any form of due process plus they won't give the unused portion of your web hosting fee back!!
Your site can't use offensive tactics, such as mail bombs, to ward off SPAMmers. Tell me you wouldn't want to take down the Nigerian con-artists email servers by loading them with emails with large attachments?
When you host yourself you are free to do as you like.
#3
Another issue is down time. Most companies backup all their data nightly. Either onto tape backup or by occasionally making partition images using Norton Ghost. When a computer or components (such as hard disk drives) go down for whatever reason. Being able to load partition images or restore backed up data can minimize downtime.
#4
Another issue is integrating your system with accounting, banks, credit card companies, etc to make your customers experience with your business as convenient as possible.
