Thats what counts, use what works best for you.

If you want to own the server and still not have to run massive connections to your own house you could use Colocation. I have been learning about it from Soulwatcher and everything I hear only makes it sound better. You own your own server and they run it for you. What could be a better solution?

But if a part breaks then you have to pay them to replace it and usally they do not work on your server for cheap.

True, which is why you do not want to use cheap parts on your server. In the 3 years that I have been running my own server I haven't had a single breakdown. (knock on wood)

I have had my server for about 5 years and just this past year I had to replace the power supply. That was only $40 but it was down for about 4 days because I had to get the power supply and then replace the old one.

You have one heck of a server, not a single breakdown for 5 years is incredible. Is your server a name brand, or is it a custom built? I only plan to run my server 2 years tops. Next year I am building a dual processor server, and then I am going to run the server we have now for another year after that.

It is called a checkbox and I bought it from American TV. It is not a known brand. Before I used it as a server I used it as a workstation and I had to take it in to get it fixed many times but I had the warrantly then. Once I turned it into a server it has not had any problems except that one power supply.
