May be, but I really doubt! Broadband is still the joke (played on us) in India. Even if it gets better, shared hosting will still remain popular choice because costs of shared hosting is far lower than what you will incurr on running and maintaining a PC 24x7! For example, if someone needs 25MB I can give it for as low as Rs. 500 a year with 99.9% uptime guarantee!! No maintenance hastles!!
Now how much will you incurr on net connection charges, electricity, etc and how much time will you spend in maintaining it!! If you spend that much time in writing blogs with adsense on it, you will earn more! So as you already said, its not practical, only academic. Its for boasting and not hosting (not my words
)
