Why not just put it in the forum where people will know something about the question?

You can't make an off-topic question on-topic just by adding a keyword. :-P

There are plenty of hosting companies out there where you can host "unlimited domain names" for $20-$50 a month. I wouldn't bother with running it in a basement, paying for software, and making sure you have redundant sources of connection. If you have server problems and your sites go down for a day you could be out $100? $200? in earnings. You might as well pay $50 a month and let somebody else worry about it. Spend your time building your web sites.

Off course this is not possible. You should put the computer in the kitchen in this case ;)

I run a web site off of an old 850Mhz PIII relating to online role playing game stuff that got 27k page impressions last month according to Google Adsense. All I have connecting me to the internet is a 1.5M/768k DSL line. Most of my site is text-based with a number of FAQs and very few graphics, so bandwidth is not much of a problem for me just yet but I figure I'll need to move the site to a real host early next year if the traffic keeps increasing.
I don’t recommend people do this even if your ISPs terms of service allow you to run any type of server (most do not), mostly I’m responding to give to you an idea of the kind of traffic you could accommodate provided you make a few design sacrifices (like fancy graphics).

I run a server from a 1500/500 line and last month it served half a million pages 14 gigs data.
