Dave, Frank and all: Most of the discussion on the IP address issue has focused on the client/browser side.

Does anyone have thoughts on the server side? Can a person host in their own server, using a dsl line (probably partial or shared line) out to an domain service provider? Of course one of the questions will be whether any provider is willing to deal with this kind of setup. (They might want any servers to be colocated). But is it technically reasonable/feasible?

My thought is that there is a market out there for people or small businesses who want to host their own sites, and not have the hassles of ftp'ing to a remote server. Some people in setting up a site don't want to deal with the Geocity ads. Some might want to maintain pretty big sites that quickly become expensive with standard domain hosting services. Ie., there are a lot of issues unresolved on the hosting side that would be easier to deal with by doing it yourself.

I've got half a dozen sites out on cheap hosting services. At $10 per month it starts to add up. And one client is talking about an application that will run into the hundreds of megabytes if it takes off. All these applications have different domain names. The seven (about) domains I've got up are on I think three different DNS servers.

It's easy enough to get a domain name. How do you get your DNS address set with a dsl hookup? Can you do it with a static address, or a proxy?

Or am I out of my mind?:-).

Best,
JS
