My small team is approaching initial closed alpha for testing, however that has brought up the question of whether it is a good idea to host our official game instances from my home office or not. I've run a few dedicated servers before on my home PC (have 3 active as a service at the moment actually) so I'm not unfamiliar with the process, however I'm looking into building a server PC specifically to fulfill that singular purpose. I have google fiber 1000mbps so I don't think I'll have bandwidth issues, however I wonder if any of you have advice and insight into what I should expect, dangers to avoid, etc.

Here's what I anticipate, am I missing anything?:

1. Masking home IP via dynamic DNS service - (pointing to a website to login rather than an IP)
2. Running multiple VMs on a single server to easily manage server resources
3. Initially testing with a few select users
4. Eventually open up to more users once proven stable
