I can see why a home connection is not as preferred as say a business account in regards to service. Really for this though all I want to do is host a website that at this point no one knows about. On it would be some functionality with technical and theoretical value which I would like to demonstrate to employers if nothing else. It is not a commercial enterprise at all. Though I would be very happy to get some funding for it later on. | |

| Jan 20, 2020 at 5:27 | comment | added | grawity_u1686 | IMHO, simply because many home connections are not quite reliable for hosting stuff... The issue is moot if your domain literally points to only one thing (a website on the same home server), but it could become a problem if e.g. your domain suddenly cannot receive email because home-run DNS server went down. | |
