Comment ISPs killed my website. (Score 3, Interesting) 171
I started hosting my own website with Southwestern Bell DSL way back in the day.
I later did it on my TimeWarner cable.
I've done it a couple of times since then, but every modern ISP blocks outbound web ports in the bridge device or elsewhere and makes full use of your IP address difficult at best.
I don't have a website anymore because I got tired of the work-arounds. I'm considering using IPNS with DNS. Yeah, it's a work around and it's old-fashioned static HTML, but at least I can put SOMETHING up there.
