As i am about to finish my dream website, i need to host it on some server.

I checked Amazon AWS Free Tier, i found it pretty complex. As i made full website in java(JSP + Servlet + mysql + Node.js), its been expensive to host.

So i thought that why not to host on own server so that i will be fully dependent on my resources, not on any one else. And i know, in future i need to pay more and more to the other hosting company(because of uploading images and number of incoming users).

So my question is, On initial stage what kind of hardware i will required. What can be the cost of that hardware?

I already have 12MBPS broadband connection, will it be sufficient?

It has static IP Address as well.
