Re: [PLUG] Hosting on compast
|
Did you get any letters from them admonishing you for high bandwidth useage? Depending on your bandwidth useage they may have just be traffic shaping (tcp RST) the hell out of any inbound traffic. There's tons of compliants about them doing that with p2p traffic these days. With that said it stands to reason that if you were using a lot of b/w, they may have shut you down. I only say all this because I have run many webservers over the years (and still do) on residential comcast connects with no issues. YMMV..

Oh, I'm from the Coatesville/Downingtown area.
Port 80 was definitely blocked, as well as the standarad ports for
serving almost anything (ftp, http, mysql, etc.)
