Run the webserver on a port above 5000 -- don't send much commercial traffic or you will have problems.

Also, you may need to configure your router(s) and firewall(s) to allow the TCP traffic into the port that is disguised as a gaming port. The other big problem is as your IP is not static? you will have to reset DNS for the domain name (hostname) of the server -- that is a real pain in the ass sometimes.

Ok as a development server but as a webhost $10 or $20/mo will get you a VPS server in a datacenter.

**Years ago I had a friend that tried this with Charter and had a real problem.

For a few hits a day why bother?
