If I'd have to go through my own ISP to do so, what's the point? Naively, I thought it was just a matter of designing my site, then having my computer open to receive input 7/24 to operate as a website. Even if that were possible, I can imagine hackers using such opportunities to zap me whenever possible. Looks like paying a fee for a site from .mac, yahoo or lycos, or even cox, is the logical way to go.
