@Edent 100% agree. I spend a good $1,500 per year to "self host" my own web and mail servers, plus I have *most* of the technical acumen to do the job. Does it actually buy me privacy? I certainly wouldn't be the farm. Also, I have my server in a data center. To do otherwise would require quite a bit more money for a "business service". And let's not start about reputation, break-in risks, disk failures, etc.
