Hi Debbie,
I'm also an @Home user. @Home users are not allowed to host web sites - not even if
you have a business class account. Besides that, you don't want to host a web site on
your server at home because the bandwidth is throttled at 128K on the uploads. So if
you had any more than a few users on the site at a time, it would slow down
considerably.
Also, @Home does not guarantee that the IP address you have today will be good
tomorrow. In fact they discourage the user of static IPs for that very reason. It
doesn't mean you cannot map a domain name to that IP (you can). It just means that
you'll have to contact your ISP who hosts your DNS entries every time the IP changes.
Now on the good side of this note, in the whole time I've been a user of @home, (about
18 months) the only time my IP changed was when I moved from one house to another.
Now, this doesn't mean you cannot use your server at home for demos. You most
certainly can. And although the people at @home specifically banned this type of
usage, they're not out to get you. They don't have the time or manpower to police all
the ports of every machine. They will only terminate your service if you abuse it -
for example by hosting a web site at home.
And sorry, I've never heard of TZO.
