This is the reason why I abandonned the idea of hosting my server at
home. Since I don't use too much computing power, I can afford to be on
a shared hosting (virtual machines using xen, btw) that costs about $15
a month for a 128MB memory plan and 6GB disk space.. The price is
roughly the same as having it at home :).
