I use FreeBSD for a production web server. We were dissatisfied with what we 
could get from various web hosts, and decided to do it ourselves with a 
colocated server. Right now we use ISP services for SSL, DNS and mail, but I'll 
have that on our server soon. The few hours down time in the last five months 
has either been elective, or loss of power or connectivity due to our service 
provider.

I also use an old machine at home running PPP as an internet gateway for a tiny 
network.
