The pro and cons are in favor of doing it myself just for the total
control. The only sufferer is the one that wants to download my work as
the uplink speed is noticeably slower. But he still gets it for only his
bandwidth/time cost. But because most ISP's think we are dumber than
rocks, they block incoming port 80. But I am also a fan of the Hitachi
6309, a cmos and smarter clone of the moto 6809, but with fringies
thrown in, hence the tongue-in-cheek use of port 6309 to run my web
server on.
