Running a Linux Server from Home
Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2013 4:57 am
Recent upgrades to the internet in Australia means that it is now possible to run servers from home.
I currently run a server that is in a data center using 1RU Dell R610 with 4 x six core processors SSD drives and 32GB of RAM. I am running a virtual system using citrix and the latest version of Linux Red hat. I own the server but am paying a small fortune for the bandwidth even though I am only running a small cart selling ink cartridges http://dealo.com.au it cost me about 30% of my profit in bandwidth. Bandwidth from home would only cost a fraction of the amount.
Does anyone know what are the potential difficulties in just grabbing the Server and relocating it to a room in my house? I am aware there will be configuration issues with the fiber modem, and some issues about IP addresses and Citrix and cpanel but I am sure it will not be so simple. if anyone can give me some help about the potential pitfalls I would appreciate it.
TIA
