Ask HN: Broadband ISP friendly to self-hosting?
We have some web services that need to be self-hosted.
Most will be low traffic (hundreds of hits a day), but some (transient) services might see occasional bursts of up to a few hundred requests per minute.
Of course this will be kept totally separate from our main network. We were planning to purchase an LTE Modem which restricts our carrier options somewhat, but we're really open to exploring any carrier.
We're based in the US Southwest.
Has anyone had any positive experiences with an ISP on this front?
- esaym 8y agoI've self hosted my own in-house server since 2005. Running apache with several (low traffic) vhost domains. Some for local non-profits, some of them are my personal business and blog pages. I also host my own DNS and email servers. Done this on several ISPs (both with residential and business accounts), Time warner, AT&T, comcast, Grandecom, and a few local only wisps.
