Server questions

do not try to run a porn site from your broadband connection!!! first off, it probably violates your ISPs t&c. Secondly, you are prolly hooked up with a limited connection (upload speeds are typically a lot slower than download speeds, this is because the average surfer wants fast downloads when they surf) which would make your server very very slow and not able to handle the traffic. Finally you would be introducing a HUGE security risk to your own server unless you know how to manage things properly. Its just not worth it and it just won't work that well! Oh, and dont even get me started on using a win server on the internet, unless you know what you are doing win servers are extremely easy to hack and bring down.

Go get a cheap hosting plan, lots of places will give you starter hosting packages for $25 a month or less and that will give you WAY more bandwidth, security and server responsiveness. Plus you won't have to stress about being shut off by your ISP.

cheers,
Luke
