"Personal use" does not in any way imply "no servers." Nor does using/having/needing/running a server imply business use.

- bluedino 13y agoRight - which is why a personal use server such as your home music collection or Roku, or a COD server on Xbox is fine. Email for 500 people, running the next eBay, or co-locating boxes for people, isn't.
- Albuca 13y agoI agree. Which is why most TOS make sense when aimed that way. Sadly some ISPs find it easier to make broad legal strokes to cover their backsides later on. For example: I run my own email server from my basement. Who uses it? Me. Maybe my dog... but mainly just me. Yes, it is technically a server, so yes technically my ISP could shut me down... but with a daily throughput of what, 10mB? I doubt it.
