I understand all the tech, except why I, as a home user, might want this. For that matter, what's in it for a business user?

I've hosted a dozen different servers from home. FTP, HTTPS, SSH, the usual. What's the advantage of giving up the flexibility of my DNS name? I might save a few bucks a year with Namecheap?

Not saying this is dumb or completely useless, just not seeing much application.

I run multiple services on intranet, still use SSL. Why? because should my network ever become compromised it's one more layer of security that will secure my data before I know what's going on.

Not sure what putz downvoted this, it's absolutely true. All it takes is one compromised device joining your lan and setting up a packet sniffer and any unencrypted services are vulnerable.
