If your home-use broadband has allocated a dedicated IP for you, then it is possible in theory (but not practise) to set up a webserver for your website. This is due to the fact that the upload speed is usually not fast enough. The upload speed of the webserver maps to the download speed to your visitors.
I am using VPS at QuickHostUK and wondering how much speed it is compared to the broadband at home.
You can install a Python script by the following commands on your SSH.
1 2 3 4 | $ wget https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py $ chmod a+rx speedtest_cli.py $ sudo mv speedtest_cli.py /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli $ sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli |
$ wget https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py $ chmod a+rx speedtest_cli.py $ sudo mv speedtest_cli.py /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli $ sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli
Use the command speedtest-cli to test the speed:

The upload speed is more than 80Mb/s while my home-use broadband only offers around 2Mb/s upload speed.
