If you are going to be having this hosted you might want to make sure that the person doing the hosting has a name server setup. That is not the easies thing to get setup. For the scale you are talking about, a couple of thousand hits a month, without anything being mission critical you could go with either solution. I would highly recommend using a hosting provider, for $60 a year you can get rid of all the headache associated with running a server and get a 99.9% uptime guarantee. You do not want to have your website hosted by someone with a server. You have to make sure that they have UPS and that they are on a dedicated IP and that they have a name server. If they do not have this you are asking for problems. I have codetown.org connected to roadrunner without a ups. What this means is that when the power goes out codetown goes out. It also means that when roadrunner gives me a different IP address I have to update my name server configuration and request a name server change with the registrar, which can take up to 48 to propogate through the internet. Having the server is a great personal learning experience, and a nice way to have access to an SSH tunnel from anywhere. But it is definately not something that should be hosting a business and be a front for accepting money. Dan @ [url=http://www.codetown.org]Code Town[/url]
