Do you have an old computer at home, and an internet connection? You can always host it yourself. The electricity used may not be cheaper than paying someone

The electricity used may not be cheaper than paying someone else a few bucks to host it from their data center.
- ganstyles 6y agoI don't think this would work. How would one get around the ISP's NAT to expose your address to the wider internet? At least, without potentially paying the ISP extra or going through a (relatively) lot of trouble to monitor/manage where your DNS is pointing. If I am way off base on this, please elucidate.
- StavrosK 6y agoNot all ISPs have NATs, I guess.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoIn the US, most don't have NATs, in my experience.
- jgalentine007 6y agoDynamic DNS has been a thing for ages and it is trivial to PAT on most any firewall you may have hooked up to a modem in bridge mode.
