I agree 100%. I have a local server to test out scripts and store backups, however, it is more like a local backup to my master backup.

Test servers are very important if you are going to make websites for a living. It's also a very good way of learning.

most ISPs will also disable mail servers from your connection (reduces complaints). However any good dynamic dns provider will also add in port forwarding so it can get past the ISP port 25 filters.
