What do you think about a co-lo (http://www.inforelay.com/colocation.html) of 
$29/month?  Boxes are incredibly cheap.  You get to do whatever you want and 
put in as much performance as you need.  If you are hacked, the only risk is 
the box and not your network.  What's the downside to this approach?

The freezope thingy is cool.  I'm going to check them out.

I was wondering about low cost hosting as well.  I am fearful of using my own 
LAN as a public site.  I don't have enough security experience to do that. 
Chances are that when I finally get enough experience, I still wouldn't do it.
