In terms of processing that is. Let's say the website do some heavy processing, the process is sent to my home webserver to be processed and send back the result to the remote server, is this possible?
Do you mean process MySQL requests on another server? If so why would you want to do that. That would defeat the process of running your own home webserver. What type and how big of a blog do you plan to run?

I built this server with MySQL in mind. Its a P4 3.0GHZ 2MB Cache 64BIT HT, 2GB of DDR400 ram, two 80GB Sata 150 hard drives running, hardware Raid 1 and a 250GB back up drive. The server will support 150 to 300 users on the forum with now slow down. And by that time if you have that many users you should be able to afford to rent a dual processor server. My total server cost was less than $1000.
