Hosting your own server at home with a fibreglass network
With the expansion of Fibreglass networks, it seems to me that it will soon be possible to place your server at home and host it from there. This would mean no bandwidth costs and total control over your server.
But what else will this implicate?

A friend of mine already does this and is getting a 2nd fibreglass connection. The downside is, is that usually you don't have all spare parts for a server, what happens if you have a harddrive break on a saturday evening.... You;d have to wait untill monday to be able to get a new one.

The fibreglass company says it would be 2GB up/downstream.
Yes, you did read that correct. Power supply is indeed something to look into. We rarely have outages, but that should not have effect on downtime. I am sure I should be able to find some kind of battery backups for this. Any recommendations? I live in Holland BTW

The connection to the Amsterdam internet centre should be 2GB up/down.
Here are some Dutch fibre providers: http://www.unet.nl/ http://www.ethernet.nl/ http://www.xmsnet.nl/ http://www.fryslanring.nl/ http://www.dcf.nl/ http://www.introweb.nl/producten/cat.../fiber_access/ Costs vary depending upon if there is a existent connection or not. If there is, then costs are reasonable.

Question what does the 2gb up/down translate to in Mbit? Does that mean a 2 Mbit up speed?

2GB = 2.000 MB UP/Down

That is MB not Mbit. You are able to upload at a speed of 2gb per second?

The problem is when your ISP cuts the connectivity for any reason. It would be wise to have 2 diferent fiberglass internet plugs to your servers. Just in case. Same with hardware, ALWAYS try to have a stock in case you have a hardware failure, same with as with the backups.
