The advantage is that you can get a domainname and host it from your own
machines.  You can put up your own webpages from your own workstation. 
You can run your own mail server.  For this to work, though, you need to
enable 'port forwarding' to send all port 80 connections to your
internal machine's ipaddress for the webserver, and port 25 for your
mail server.  You can also enable port 22 and be able to reach your
machine via ssh when you are away from home.

Cool stuff...
