web hosting

If you choose to host your own server on a spare machine, your ISP may not like that. Check on what their policy is before you try to host self-host.

I dont know how their service is but 8tt.org seems to be running a deal that if you use jury as a promo code you can get 100GB storage and 1TB bandwidth for $0.01 per month. I already have service from multiple people but now I'm interested...

I've been happy with GoDaddy's hosting and Domain services. I've been self hosting most of my sites lately, but for high load or high availability sites, I use GoDaddy.

On the other hand, if you just want a good hosting service, http://www.8tt.org/ is pretty good, with support for PHP, MySQL, and FTP, without ads.

I run 1103's site, and some personal sites on a previously unused desktop. It doesn't take a very powerful machine to be a webserver.

If you have a large ISP they may not like it, but if you're ISP is local they probably won't have an issue with it. You might even be able to get a new sponsor.
