I'll build a web site at home, anybody know if there is any affordable connetion for it, include couple IP addresses, partially bandwidth of T1( really don't need full T1 bandwidth ) . My budget is very limited and just don't want to host to any site because everyday millions records need to be updated and 5-10 servers needed .

You plan on having 5-10 servers in your home? That sounds like a very bad idea. If I were you, I would get cable or DSL at home at collocate those servers at a datacenter. Then you won't have to deal with the noise, power requirements, and physical security involved with housing those machines.

Put your websites in a datacenter. It's more cost effective. And do you really plan on installing aircon and fire supression systems in your house?

If your website is large enough that you need 5-10 servers, there is no way you will be able to get an "affordable connection" that will meet your requirements adequately.

If you're still dead-set on doing this all at home, the cost of the bandwidth will depend a lot on where you are. In that case, you'd do better trying to find some techie forums that are a bit more local than this one.

Thanks, Guys. Many of tables in my database contain millions or more than 10 millions records and most of these records need to be updated 2-3 times per day . I doubt if datacanter is feasible way to do it . So if anybody know there're any kinds of datacanters that can host my application . Please let me know .
