I'd recommend using a virtual server in the cloud for two main reasons: you don't have to worry about maintaining hardware, and you get a ton of redundancy in things like power supply and networking. Of course, my preference is the Rackspace Cloud, where you can get a Windows server for under $60/month, but there are other cloud providers out there to choose from.
