But you could host it on their server fine, you're just stuck ftp'ing your
local copy up when you make changes. A bit of a pain, but if you used
dyndns for your domain, you can just redirect it to your
people.athome.com/infonewt account (or whatever they have set up for
public pages) is called). Should work just fine, I think. and be
transparent to most.
I'm just setting up stuff that way here (mediaone.net/comcast, but
@home will be the provider soon (currently RR) (it's all a mess and
everyone seems to own each other :); bummer about the incoming port 80
block, but I can see what they have done that. Stupid Windows/MSoft
anyway.
