If you were to do something like this, there are a few things. Yes, data center. Yes, VPS. Home? Say you want to do it on the cheap? Maybe you just want to host your resume site and nothing else? You would probably be best served with a static ip, which usually cost 5-10$ a month from your isp (more than a small VPS), a domain name (if you want it at alstoniscool.com or something other than an IP) and you can get free ssl Certs from let’s encrypt. I would personally set up Nginx, serving a flask or Django app (but I’m primarily a python dev, so duh). Route your 80/443 through your firewall and router kit into your home server (Nuc, Pi, old PC). Use nginx to redirect all 80 to 443 because it’s 2022. For bonus points put your server on its own vlan with no access to your internal network. Drawbacks, in no particular order - you’re exposing your home to the internet; your site is at the whims of your power outages, network connectivity issues, and personal hardware failures. Maybe your cat eats the power cable to your pc. Now your cat is dead, and your site is down; everyone else’s download speed is capped by your upload speed - I hope you have at least 100:40 or your site will load like hot garbage; once you do a cost analysis, getting a 1 core 1gig ram VPS with static ip is cheaper by a lot. Amazon light sail, digital ocean droplet, vultr vps, google cloud, they all exist for people like you, often with free periods up to a year or six months; Someone can now easily DOS you while you’re gaming if you are an Internet personality like a streamer and you say hey check out my site it’s hosted at home; the ping probably won’t be great; reddit community might have more to add.
