I have Comcast business grade cable Internet to my home and I'm
already hosting my own personal site and sites for a few other folks;
no data caps; plenty of static IPs; not terribly slow; everything's
protected with a Liebert double-conversion UPS... not totally a
commercial datacenter in terms of available bandwidth or backup power
capacity but nevertheless my uptimes are decent.

I have said many times in the past, but as new list members pop on
they are probably not aware of this.
I host the classiccmp server (which is not just the classiccmp mailing
list, but a growing truckload of user websites that are classiccmp
related) gratis. I do not host it on a "Comcast business grade cable internet"
connection (there's a contradiction in terms in and of itself...)
This is not something I "run out of my home". One of the companies
that I own is a hosting provider. We have a rather large-ish
datacenter and I have dedicated a set of resources to classiccmp.
Our bandwidth is many orders of magnitude greater than a "home or
business connection". Not to mention, it's managed bandwidth with load
balanced connections to multiple carriers. Our infrastructure is all
xenserver based, so spinning up new VM's is a mouseclick. We have
quite a few SAN's so storage is not a problem at all. Full HVAC
monitoring & control, power backups (oh, and we have two separate
powerstations from Ameren UE ON SITE). This infrastructure is professionally managed by
my company 24x7.
Long story short... it's not a "home" connection.
More to the point, since I own the company, rest assured that hosting
your site here is not a "till the boss finds out" or "my wife
accidentally turned off the computer" type of situation.
As a result - I'm happy to host any website, ftp site, wiki, etc. etc.
that is classic computer related. As long as it meets that criteria,
you can host your site with us for no charge.
Best,
J
