Well, "server" under Linux is vague (since a desktop is certainly as powerful), however the business use stipulations also are unreasonable, unenforceable, and the description certainly doesn't cover home business or remote access for work purposes, as well?

Many people run Windows MSN Entertainment "servers"; by definition TIVO or MythTV is a server?

Depending on how you construe Server, I think that most people would be in violation of this, considering the vast amount of software that runs a process continually that listens on specific ports and responds to requests..

Actually, you agree with the Acceptable Use Policy that you will not run a "server".  It also addresses business use in a vague way (doesn't everyone use their home office for "business")?

Commercial Use. The Service is designed for personal, non-business related use of the Internet and may not be used for commercial purposes. You may not resell or otherwise charge others to use the residential Service. You agree not to use the Service for operation as an Internet service provider, or for any other business enterprise, including, without limitation, IP address translation or similar facilities intended to provide additional access. Cox Business Services offers commercial Internet services.

Servers. You may not operate, or allow others to operate, servers of any type or any other device, equipment, and/or software providing server-like functionality in connection with the Service, unless expressly authorized by Cox.

If you are only going to use it for personal access, and maybe to show family photos to friends, then I don't think it would be a problem.

So I have cox at home so I obviously would violate the AUP self hosting and frankly I am cheap... wait no frugal. Anyway I would like to find a place to host my domain free but without ads or if it has ads it allows choice of placement in the design.

I use the page for:
Public display of personal projects (usually involving LAMP components and libcurl is a definite desire)
Personal home page and info
Code dumping of projects and shell scripts for peer review.


I imagine traffic will be low as I am not that popular of a person but you can never have too much storage or bandwith..
