Yes, one can do the remote hosting, but to me, I enjoy the hands-on work.

I'm hoping to do that with IPFire soon.  It comes pre-configured with 
different colored "zones" (networks) for the home, such as red for anything 
public-facing like a web server or a BBS, a green zone which is your LAN, and 
a blue zone for WiFi (allowing you to offer public WiFi if you want).  The 
distro also will do full country blocks by using GeoIP and auto-updating IP 
tables.

I've just not had the time nor energy to do it, unfortunately, but I'm hoping 
I will be able to get to this soon.

Later,
Sean
