Is it Possible to make a VPS at Home

[RetroGaming]

ive seen websites before selling VPS'S but is it possible to make my own VPS at my house and can i get DDOSed

Yes. You can make a "VPS" with software like VirtualBox/XenServer/Proxmox. You can indeed get DDoS'd, which is why I wouldn't necessarily recommend running a 'public' server off your home connection with no DDoS protection.

These 3 are the most used "VPS software" afaik

Xen

Openvz

Kvm

 

And if its only for personal usage (not making money by renting vps' to people)

Vsphere hypervisor

 

With the DDoS, why would someone want to DDoS you? Just stay nice, no trolling and stop making enemies on the internet ;-)

It is not a good idea to host a VPS server for public use 24/7 at your house, even though it sure is possible. You simply don't benefit from it, renting a server is a lot cheaper. If it is for personal use (like NAS or something similar) or just as a test environment you can consider it, but for everything else I would use a hosting service.

It shouldn't be an issue to host something at home like a website, fileserver or just to have access to a linux machine over SSH/Mosh, isolated from home machines however. But no, renting a VPS can be pretty cheap, and a good alternative if you don't need it to be local. I personally use a RaspberryPi as a server at home that i can connect to remotely. :-)
