Is colo necessary of you have a 1000Mbit symmetrical provider at home?



I selfhost a bunch of personal stuff at home and have 1500M/940M at home, and I don’t think bandwidth would ever be the issue.

Frequent IP changes and the residential IP block could make mail hard.

If I was looking to host something that mattered, and was a little more public, I would move that more for my own sanity. Not being able to find me via IP, network uptime guarantees, more robust backup power, etc.

If you were some cloud admin and put your website on a resume or something, and it was down, I might use that to jump to conclusions.


Remember that running any internet-facing servers could violate your terms of service unless you have a business-class connection.
