Mail. It’s almost impossible to find a server hoster that hasn’t yet been ip-range-banned from most mail gates, and I cannot host from my own house due to ISP terms and conditions.
I’ve managed to do it for my personal email and find it very rewarding. Sadly, I could never use it for my business. It’s just too risky and there may always be a few delivery problems here and there.

Been having a wonderful experience with mailcow on a small vps…
That, and the fact that Spam abatement is a terrible chore. Whackamole at its worst.
rspamd seems to do a fair job of it.

VPS hosting, BTW, not home.
I have setup a mail server for my employer, and doing it manually yourself is difficult. I didn’t want to do it for myself as well.
However I looked into mailcow, and tried that privately and it works great so far! However, i would dedicate a separate VPS for just that.
