For someone living on the east coast where power is expensive, you could spend extra money each month running a server 24/7. the other thing you have to consider is noise. Unless you're building a server out of a PC, the servers that are either designed for small business or racks are typically loud and warm.

Hope this helps.

For now, I just want it for a couple game servers and a website. And my Down is 40MB and up is 5-7MB, I have no clue if people will have a good ping/connection to my server though.

Well, I'm doing this because I want to get into Network Administration. Things with Servers/Computers.
