James, Joe,

Many ISPs these days are offering Virtual Servers.

They really are a good deal.

It's like having a dedicated server without the hardware cost.

They can be scaled up and down as need dictates, add cores, bump RAM etc....

The option to price point makes them a very attractive deal.

1and1 have a nice assortment and they also offer exchange hosting for your package.

The other option which I don't think works for Joe due to his frequent travel is running a server from home.

The biggest issue with that was always the dynamic address that you get from your ISP. There are ways to get around it but none of them can guarantee 100% uptime.

Recently I found Namecheap.com

They allow you to set up a nameserver on a dynamic IP and will keep the records current.
