I agree with Chris.  Unless you own a e-commerce (big one) company it's not
worth running your own server.  I have 25 domain names hosting at a company
and it only costs $6.95/month each.  I don't know how much storage you need,
but you can email me (in private) and I can let you know the company I use,
I am content with them.

Thanks,
Leo
