I'm not trolling, just stating facts. You're the one coming in and tossing around insults. I've been using Verizon residential service to host my sites for almost 4 years. They were even nice enough to issue me a static IP address when I contacted their customer service and requested one. I even gave them the reason why I needed a static IP. Not a peep about breaking their TOS. I also had my connection lost once and I contacted Verizon and they helped me troubleshoot the problem
after I told them what I was using the service for. They block port 80 to try to dissuade people from doing it but you can always change it to a different port like 8080 and you're fine as long as you forward it correctly.
Four years of uninterrupted service, running my own web server with multiple sites that receive a shit load of traffic and Verizon's technical support helping me troubleshoot my connection after telling them what I was doing. I wouldn't say that was putting all my eggs in one basket. I run backups every night and in case they DID shut off my service I could easily sign up for any hosting account and be back online within a couple hours.
Putting your eggs in one basket is hoping that the hosting company you're dealing with is managed properly and just doesn't disappear overnight. Wouldn't that suck not being able to download your backups because the hosting company went out of business and liquidated all their servers.
Just Google "Verizon DSL web server" - there were too many valid links for me to post here but you'll get the idea. Anything else?
