Do You host your own site on a DSL line, if Yes

I am thinking of hosting my own website. I know how to do it and have the hardware and software to do it, but I have been told that a DSL line can only support a few simulteneous users.

Here is what I have.
I have P3 800 server class box with 20GB disk space and 1GB Ram
I have a static IP address
I have a Linux box that's well equiped
I have a Solaris ultra 10 box
I have Win2k server
I have a 25 user Exchange 5.5 software.

The site I am thinking of should have no more than 15 users (if lucky) at any given time.
Should I pony up additional money and let someone else host it or should I use my DSL line which I only use for about 2 hours a day. Frankly, I don't think I am getting my money's worth of usage and need to find something to justify paying for the dsl line.

BTW: I if I do, I will most likely use ASP and MYSQL (can't afford licences) on WIN2K so I can put my Exchange app to use but I can also use PHP and some open source content manegement stuff, but then, I can't use my Exchange app. ( still learning PHP)
So do you host your own site and if yes, what's your experience?

Thanks

your computer is fast enough but the connection is not.
dsl is way too slow.

I'm with Epyon on that. How did you work out 15 concurrent users? That's a hell of alot of bandwidth for a DSL line to handle. We're hosted by PerlCoders.com and we've peaked at 255 users online at any one time. We're running through 2 sets of quad t3 lines and our load limit was about 82%.

I would really recommend hosting as a proper web host. That way if something goes wrong, you get support, etc. I know you say you know how to do stuff and that's great, but if your site gets popular quickly then you'll probly have to move it to a web host anyway.

Some packages start at $7.95 a month. I would recommend using one of these packages and upgrading to a bigger package should the time come.

i agree with the other go for paid hosting.

I use my ADSl line for hosting a few prototype websites. Its a W2K box running Apache/PHP and a handy way of making very rapid site changes as I can access the box via a 100mb network connection (two network cards) instead of the 10 Mb router connection.

I also administer hosted sites (one Linux, one Windows) and the Linux box costs £60/month (20Gb traffic/mo) on UK2net.com If your traffic is low you can run DSLhosted sites but >10 people at once and it will crawl for them...

Most DSL can handle a moderate traffic site or three. I wish I had DSL, cause I'd host all my sites myself. I know someone who runs a site that gets about 50,000 impressions dialy on his DSL as well as several other lower traffic sites. I don't think ADSL could handle that much, but a decent DSL should be able to handle regular web traffic for a smallish site or so.
