Every one I've ever looked at, here's the policy from my current provider:

I have run a personal web server open to the Internet. But a good 15 years ago, I actually tried running a public website. It lasted for a few months, then they disconnected me until I called and agreed to turn it off.
I'm willing to bet your provider has something similar, enforcement may be lax, but it's not something you can count on.
- jonathantf2 4y agoThe only reason they have this in the contract is so they can cancel your service over it, I can guarantee they're not monitoring this at all any more. If they wanted to block hosting services they'd block the ports on their side.
- strken 4y agoThis would be very unusual in Australia. Perhaps it varies by country. Here's my current ISP's policy: https://www.tpg.com.au/forms/FINAL%20-%20TPG%20Acceptable%20Use%20Policy%20-%20combined%20acceptable%20and%20fair%20use%20policies%20-%2030%20Nov%202016.pdf https://www.tpg.com.au/forms/FINAL%20-%20TPG%20Acceptable%20...
- gmiller123456 4y agoThat's great if true. However they have the catch all "non-ordinary use" clause. Obviously if you try to run a massive data center, they'll shut you down, which raises the question of where the cutoff is going to be.
