Hi Tomcat,

This very server is powered by a Comcast Cable Modem. But my cable modem is a business class cable modem. Comcast will allow you to run severs if you sign up for their business class cable modem with a static IP. I have the workplace standard and the speed is 6mbps down and 768kb/s up. And the price is $79.90 per month with tax. I don't know what type of website you plan to run. But just to give you a idea, last month I had a proxy website on my server. And on the best day it transfered 248k page views and 4.02GB of bandwidth in 14hrs. More than likely a cable modem powered home webserver will more than meet your needs. Comcast does not allow servers on their residential cable internet service, but I know a few people that have been running servers on their residential cable internet service for years.
