Haha I wish.Thankfully the server is shared by the other sites like Dogsey, which help towards the cost and the rest is subsidised by me.
Server costs have come down a lot in recent years too, just a few years ago a 64GB Ram server would have been way out of our budget.

With broadband so much more powerful, and getting more so, running a home server should be considered by anyone needing to save money whilst running websites.

Got up this morning very early - 4am - and my alarm clock was off so decided to check my computer for the time - blasted server had frozen again. I have opened a lot of new sites very recently and Google has a habit of crawling them overnight thereby increasing the load on the server but I can't see that causing it to freeze. I think there might be a memory problem or something. Anyway swapped the hard drives over to another identical server (practically) but the network wouldn't start - shit! I had to do this ...
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
(the above is a file editing screen)
and then comment out the SUBSYSTEM lines, of which there were 4.
Once the above was done ubuntu server was able to reconfigure the network.
Server is back online now but I'm not happy as I don't have a backup server. Also thinking I need more ram - even a more powerful server altogether - as I intended to create a load more shopping sites. Time to scour Ebay again I think ...
