I have 7 domains that own and I have a mix of solutions.

3 I host on my home server.  I have a higher tier DSL with static IP.  It 
pretty much started off for fun and learning and developed into something 
quite valuable to me now.

1 I host on my boss's server (with permission of course).

3 sites are housed at http://www.powweb.com.  One of the biggest reasons 
to host at a reliable ISP was for email.  While I've had almost no down 
time on my home box over the past couple of years (with the exception of 
one BAD dselect incident), I just don't trust it enough to risk missing an 
important email yet.

But again, beyond just the fun of it, I've learned a hell of a lot trying 
to keep my home server up, running, and doing what I want it to do.
