100%. Just as an example I have several racks at home, business fiber, battery backup, and a propane generator as a last resort. Also 4th amendment protections so no one gets access without me knowing about it. I host a lot of things at home and trust it more than any DC.

If there's ever a need for a warrant for any of the projects, the warrant would likely involve seizure of every computer and data storage device in the home. Without a 3rd party handling billing and resource allocation they can't tell which specific device contains the relevant data, so everything goes.

So having something hosted at home comes with downsides, too. Especially if you don't control all of the data that goes into the servers on your property.

Isn't a business line quite expensive to maintain per month along with a hefty upfront cost? For a smaller team with a tight budget, just going somewhere with all of that stuff included is probably cheaper and easier like a colo DC.

Which one of those things do you think you can't get in a datacenter?

That's not the point. The point is that a "home" setup can basically replicate or exceed a "professional" setup when done right.

		A home setup might be able to rival or beat an “edge” enterprise network closet. It’s not going to even remotely rival a tier 3/4 data center in any way. The physical security, infrastructure, and connectivity will never come close. E.g. nobody is doing full 2N electrical and environmental in their homelab. And they certainly aren’t building attack resistant perimeter fences and gates around their homes, unless they’re home labbing on a compound in a war torn country.
