TBH, if you don't understand the stuff on this thread, which is all relevant to you (as far as I can see) you are probably better off not setting up your own server.

Basically, what Matth is saying is that if the users of your site download more than a certain amount (300 Megabytes) of data in a day, NTL can either slow your connection down, or disable it until you stop running your own server. BTW, that's the total amount for all your users, so if one user downloads a 100 Meg file, then another downloads a 250 Meg file, you will be over the limit.

They would only do this if your server is causing problems for everyone else in the area, which, if it is busy, it might.
