Hello,

I am hosting a shared Minecraft server (10-15 users usually) on dedicated hardware somewhere at OVH. I am considering moving this server to my home. I would save 25$ per month doing this, which would be my main motivation.

I am aware of other considerations (I’ll mention them later) but maybe I am missing something? Is there anyone who did the reverse (hosting a service with multiple users, moving them from your home to a hosting company) and what was your reason

Things I already considered:

• when my electricity/connection goes down the server goes down (that’s ok it’s just a game and my connection has always been very very stable)
• hosting at home eats bandwidth (I have 50mbit which is way more than I use, I don’t stream or download much)
• electricity costs money too
• when the server is compromised my home network is compromised (handling servers and networks is my hobby and my job, I think I can make it safe)

Thank you for your thoughts!
