I plan on starting up two dot-com companies. I am currently writing a business plan and doing research. I have found lots of information about using a Web-hosting company. However, I am interested in buying my own server so that I can add capacity as the company grows. I am having a difficult time finding information on connecting a server to the Internet.

    * What type of connection would I need?
    * Would you recommend using a host or purchasing my own server?

When somebody needs to ask these questions they shouldn't even think about buying a server.
