Re: host my own site
You need a static IP for that. It's not really a good idea to host your own site for several reasons. First, it has to be on and connected to the internet 24/7, and it also is going to run really slow unless you have high speed uploading on your site. 100kb/s upload (roughly what Cable/DSL give at best) isn't good enough if more than a couple of people are browsing your site at the same time.

Re: host my own site
You likely will need to run a DNS server too. Running a web server involves a lot of things. In my opinion, it is not worth the effort, given you get a solid host for some pocket change. Hackers love to exploit unsecured servers too.

Re: host my own site
hahaha, yep...and you website just won't be fast...also what if the power goes out? Professional website hosts have generators and advanced moderating systems, which you probably don't have, and can't afford.
