WebHosting availability....
Is it just me or does it seem that hosting a website from home is becomming more and more scarce? DirecPC doesn't even plan on allowing it, all the cable services in the comunity won't allow it anymore... What's the deal with this? Do I really have to get a T1 connection to host my own website? That's ridiculous!!!
Why should I pay someone else to host my website on their server when I am perfectly capable of hosting it on my own?
Is there a method to this madness (other than offering a crippled internet service in order to save a few pennies)? Is this something that happened because of 9/11, or as a desperate attempt at slowing down the warez/cracking communities (not that I support them, but.... yeah right! You can't stomp something out if it's a dime-a-dozen.)?
I'm pretty sure that I can fix it so that a provider won't know (unless they specifically look for it via DNS server information or traffic reviews...), but what would be the point... I'm not going to play dodge-ball with invalid service. That's just stupid.
Anyone shed some light on what's going on?
Grrr! :confused:
