Cable internet. It’s pretty fast because not many people use it in my neighborhood.  :D

I’ve heard of this. I want to do it! Can’t your cable company detect the increase in speed though?

i second that rgriffy, can’t they detect and possibly prosecute you?

Yes, as a matter of fact they can…I used to work for the cable company, and my cousin still does so I have the inside track on all of their ways to defend against it—Honestly though they won’t come after you unless you are running a web server behind it that uses more than 500 GB of upload a month FTP, streaming video, etc.

Since you used to work at a cable company you might be able to answer this.  I’m looking at hosting a website, that I know will get approx 100 hits a day.  Its an information website, with a decent ammount of pics.  I’m wondering what kind of upstream I would need.  I just want to know what level of DSL I would have to upgrade to to host it inhouse.  my dsl provider allows hosting, so thats not an issue.

It really depends on the size of the images—are you going to have thumbnails that open in to full size images?  Really, if only 100-200 people visit your site daily, and you have a fair amount of images, a 256k up should be more than enough—you have to consider factors such as returning visitors that will have cached copies of pages, images etc—Your best bet is to have a main page that is fairly simple, and then have links to different sections that way the traffic will be deverted, and not all visitors will be loading massive amounts at the same time.

Really, if you break it down…if all 100 visitors came to the site at the same time, they would get 2.56k/sec upload—or half the speed of dialup—I’m sure that’s not going to happen—most likely you’ll never have more than 10 unique visitors at a time, therefore, they’ll get more than 25k/sec on the upload—your best bet is to try it out, and if it doesn’t work for you, go with a cheap host—you can pick one up for around $7/mo.  that way your site will be able to handle the bandwidth.

I have a cheap host now.  I was just wondering if I could up my DSL connection to support the website, and then not pay the hosting, and have complete control over the website and database myself.  The website I want to host is the website for the local movie theatre that my family runs.  We have been running theatres in our town since 1949.
