What type of site do you intend to host? and how important is uptime to you?

Hosting from home, decent internet connection, power consumption, downtime, the lsit goes on... Do your research before choosing the host that you do end up going with

You are better off with going with the actual web host as I do not think you have that much knowledge on doing this.

I think you would be better off getting hosting at Godaddy. What if you get a power surge at home? You won't have a backup generator to keep your site online if you don't have power.
