Hosting one's own server is a very tedious task, but once one is having some time and experience with it becomes a waft. With experience and passage of time one will have a better web hosting experience, he/she will be more in tune and reliant to his/her customers. Not only that one will also gain greater technical aptitude. Thus hosting one's own web server is considered often rewarding, useful, and it provides opportunity to host unlimited websites, databases, services, etc.

If one's web traffic increases to a great extent even more than the capacity of his/her server, then it is advisable to select an offsite web host. It is also recommended to purchase a dedicated server with a quality web host. If one chooses a server with the above recommendations then his/her server traffic wont create any problem for at least up to 25,000,000 page views monthly. It could be more or less depending on one's operating system, his/her server configuration, performance, applications, and services. Thus the point worth noting is one should be well in a position to purchase dedicated server space by the time his/her traffic grows heavily because if one is getting anything close to 1,000,000 page views per month he/she should have some competitive advertising or ecommerce income. In addition, the experience will make one perfect to be able to support one's own server at a dedicated server (remote) location, thus saving more costs.
