Hi, I am interested in moving my shockbyte bungee network to a physical machine I can own in my home.

I know nothing about this stuff so I wanted to know where I can buy one and how it works.

If you need cheap and cheerful use https://shockhosting.net/ there servers are fine for small-medium sized networks

If you are wanting DDOS Protection that is good and reliable and you have the money to pay setup fees then go OVH.

If you are looking to Own your Own Server at Home I would have a look about buying something cheap from an Datacentre or even Ebay. As there is some people that you could goto to buy a server. But just bare in mind if that server gets DDOSed your home network will go down.

I wouldn't home a machine in your home. The biggest networks don't have their own machines in their home. It's worth the money to pay for an external machine, its protection, and the team of staff on-site to maintain the machines.

So the problem isn't really the machine, it's your home network. Most residential ISP's only provide a limited amount of 'upload' bandwidth. That will drastically slow down any visitors to your services, ontop of which a lot of ISP's will block ports and generally prohibit in their terms of service running full time servers on their network.

Not to mention actual servers are very noisy and do consume a fair amount of power.

Everyone else is correct, you'll want to find a good third party provider vs trying to operate it out of your house.

I'd strongly recommend you don't home host for the following reasons:
1. The internet coming in your home will be filled pretty damn quick, you don't have gigabits of throughput.
2. You're liable for uptime, maintenance, and the units(s) well being as a whole.
3. Under an attack your entire home network is effected, and you likely won't have the resources (or pipe) to mitigate it whatsoever.
4. Your home/residence is without a doubt assigned an IP address dynamically, implying it changes periodically. This will require that you constantly update and watch our for outdated DNS records.
5. Redundancy and failover are NOT incorporated into your current network stack (I'm guessing), leaving room for multiple layers of failure.

Overall, what you're wanting can be done at home but you're going to be spending some serious cash on the project. As mentioned above, OVH and others are a great place to start (and also have an SLA, which you can't exactly offer to yourself!).
