Fed up of paying someone to host my website and mail server, and having recently upgraded to 10mbps cable, I decided to host it all myself. Being limited in time (aka lazy) I decided to try Qmail Toaster for CentOS, my preferred server os.

I have the domain and mx records forwarded by no-ip.com to my home address, where it hits a fairly standard 2GHz Duron box w/512MB ram.. oh yes, the box is also running this blog admirably too. Click the phpsysinfo link on the right to get usage stats for this box.
