Jeff,
I do the same thing, webserver and mailserver at home www.hinessite.com .
You already own the domain name, now you just need to have soemone host your
DNS. The good news is that this part can be had for free. I use
www.zoneedit.com for primary and granitecanyon.com as secondary DNS.
If you have a static ipaddress that's about it, if you have a dynamic
ipaddress, you'll need a Dynamic DNS client to update your DNS recored when
your IP address changes, I use directupdate, see www.directupdate.net
If you have more questions and would like to take it offline, you can remove
the NOSPAM from my email address and send it directly to me. I'm happy to
help if I can.
