Why would it fail? What's wrong with hosting your own servers on your own
DSL link? For personal usage, why pay the upwards of $150/mo for a
colocation of a single machine when you can get DSL with a 8/16-ip subnet
for less, which lets you have more boxes online?

That's true. But if it's just hobbyist stuff, it doesn't really matter..
