I had problems in the past with having my stuff hosted on others servers all over the place. I then went with a total dedicated server, full box and control. This was excellent till they were bought out a few times and then the technical people got lazy and also they started charging you just to call them on the phone. $15 to answer the phone and $20 to walk over and reboot a locked server and so on.
I got to the point I got a commercial internet connection in my house and a few IP's assigned through the ICANN registry. I bought a few used servers on eBay and migrated everything into a spare room in my home. 5 bed rooms (use 2), 2 full living rooms, full kitchen, full dining room, full laundry room, and 2 full baths plus the attic and basement, anyway.
I went out and bought a rack enclosure and all the stuff I need like patch bays and switches and servers and so on, you all get the picture.
I have not regretted it and will never go back to hosting on others systems if I can help it. If you can do what I did it is the best way to go. You will be much happier and be in total full control and much much happier in the long run.
