And booting to XP is never quick, remember you'll have to download 
Windows, Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware, etc updates just to "feel" safe.

I definately recommend outsourcing the commercial site hosting. I use a 
shared host and it works great, but something like pdxcolo gives you 
more control <* drooling at the thought of root >.
Then use your home box for testing, maybe even host a smaller, less 
critical site to get your feet wet hosting yourself.

 From what I've heard, FC2 is UN-stable. Probably greatly depending on 
hardware/software. The dual boot bug is preventable, you might find this 
helpful if your decide to go for it.

Personally, FC1 is awesome. I dual boot FC1 with XP (although I rarely 
ever need to boot XP) and it works great. You might want to remember to 
create an extra FAT32 partition to share files between OS'!
