Question:
Why do you ppl. need to rent a server when you can just buy Hosting for $10/month?
It seems rather odd, do you use it for anything else?

Where on Earth did you get the impression that we rent a server?  iago hosts it out of his home using a DSL connection.

iago:
Yeah, I have it at home.  I do it for many reasons:

- Educational
- Easier to maintain
- Easier to update
- Cheaper in the longrun
- If something happens, I walk to the next room
- Don't have to worry about rules / policies
- Can give limited or unlimited access to whomever I choose
- Has the OS I want, set up the way I like
- More secure (I know what I'm doing)
- Unlimited bandwidth

There are a couple downsides, though:
- Nobody to turn to for help (not applicable, I'm too smart :))
- Slower net speed (I don't think that's an issue)

I think he didn't read the first post, just the topic title.
