The delightful thing about a VPS is that it's virtual and you can own
one from anywhere in the world! Amazing how those 'virtual' things work.
Any argument against cost related to a VPS is moot. I can buy one in the
UK, you can buy one in the US. I can buy one in Finland, Sealand,
Russia, India and wherever the heck I want.
I'm not sure where you'd consider that a VPS would double your local
Internet connection bill. If you're paying US$7.95/mo (or equivalent)
for your Internet connection, you're getting a bargain already and have
little room for complaint.
VPS - virtualize yourself and be a better Netizen.

independence on my home DSL connect by putting yet another server into
colo which will handle all my mail from here)
