When would anyone use **dedicated server** to host their site on?  
Why would you need **that much space and bandwith**???  
I understand the control issue though

How could I host **my own site** on my own machine?  
What are the advantages??(In your opinon)  
I know about the issue of fixing everything myself  
I know it has to be up all the time
