I run all my stuff at home and even do virtual hosting for web and mail for one of my wife's websites. I have a separate box for mail running postfix, dovecot, postgresql, clamd, and spamd. It's not a beefy box but still works well. Haven't really seen my electrical bill go up. I did have to get a "server class" DSL line so I could have static IPs. It was slightly higher but not by much. I also pay a small fee for my IP addresses.
