And there are ISP's with multi-tier pricing for just such a need. Our Telco charges $23 for DSL Lite (128/128) and $45 for Residential DSL (1544/128) with a DHCP Private address, and $59 for a SOHO DSL (1544/128) with a Static Public address. The speeds are the same (1544/128) but the TOS on the $59 connection allows hosting. It still doesn't allow you to resell, but you can host your own site and not break any rules. (those are CDN Prices, so about $13, $27 & $35 respectively)
