I used to host my own site from my home because I did not trust anyone in this business. I had my site, when it was new, shut down because it had to much traffic for the business account I was on, and finally was given the name of someone who would be able to help me out.
Way to many people out there that if they see you making money or think your making money they start trying to suck the blood out of you. They try to act like you need them and they are something. The only people in this business who really counts are the customers. This guy who I was paying for space on his co-lo server was putting banners and stuff on my site, charged me $500 to register my domain name. Once we figured out how to register a domain name through internic and saw he was taking traffic away from us with his banners it was all over. I had allot of down days those first few months trying to figure out stuff but it eventually worked itsself out. Now My servers are co-located at naked hosting and wild websites. Both have proved themselves to be very trust worthy with almost 100% uptime. Now I dont have to always worry if my windows server has crashed.
