I have previously always played tournament hold'em games at home and was looking for advice on hosting a cash game. Thanks

Set a max buyin, then set a big blind at 1/50 or 1/100th the max buyin. Say 50$ buyins, a 0.50$ or a 1.00$ big blind, for a home game I would suggest a 1/50th BB because a 1/100 is too small to generate a lot of action.

Make sure you have a good but fair rake system in place. 
Joking aside, set a max buyin and allow people to sell off money beyond 2.5 or 3 times the max buyin. If you never let people cash out, the stakes just keep increasing as the night wears on. (The big stacks get bigger as all the money slowly concentrates on the people who stay the longest.) So buy allowing people to sell off their stack beyond 2.5x buyin, no one can ever lose *too* much in one hand.

The homegame I play in is dealers choice. They pick the game and the stakes. Its really fun. No max buy in. There is typically a couple grand in play with 6-7 guys. On a good night its more profitable then going to the casino.

Also make sure you don't have people show up, win a huge pot, and then cash out and go home.
I hate hit and runner's. Scum......all of them.
