Yep, you will. Be sure to ask them to put you on hold so you can listen to the Monty Python music. :) > i own my own domain. if a DNS point my domain to my XMission static IP, > wouldn't it work to run my own webserver out of my apartment? assuming > that i keep the traffic low? In theory, yes. I know people that have done other things like an ssh server. > does XMission/DSL providers have rules against this? Xmission, I don't think so. And I know people that have done it via Qwest DSL and another ISP. That is how knine.net used to be hosted. Now it's hosted via a Sprint Broadband connection. > what other options (if any) are there for hosting a webserver out of > your house? The Sprint thing I just mentioned works. We have three domains running off of a machine behind me. I think Art does his through his cable modem....
