If you are hosting a server behind a router, you will have to sacrifice some firewall protection, as you will have to either forward the appropriate ports or put the server in the router's "DMZ". It's generally a lot better in the long run to host your domain on a commercial host unless you are prepared to take a lot of steps to ensure proper security - in other words, let the pros do it. Also, running servers on a residential cable modem often violates the ISP's terms of service.
