I agree with most of the posts on here, it is a complete pain in the butt at times running your own server, if it goes down for whatever reason theres only you to take the blame, clients will blame you and you will get frustrated...a lot :)
However that being said it can also be a lot of fun and you will certainly learn a lot about your servers hardware & software if you don't already.
For plain websites , ie without loads of MySQL databases , PHP etc you don't need the latest greatest hardware.
just do it, take it slow and have fun!
