Previously I was only thinking it affected full servers and not the home-brew variety. If that is the case what is the best way to prevent it, apart from obviously disabling the online access totally.

yep, every single web server of any type weather its a full blown Apache install with all the trimmings, or a 10 kilobyte *Rebol web server script, no matter were its housed, is subject to being Phormed, as the BT lads and ladys here and betaBT have already stated , even the ISP's minimal included webspace (its not "free" as you have to pay for the ISP service first before you get even that) will be subject to Phorm interception.
any ISP given webspace, any home server running on your end user connection, of any type that uses http in any way will be subject to being phormed.
if you sent any
http://myhomeServer/passwordProtected.html page, it cant help but be intercepted and collected, then processed to see if it matches whatever purposes they like, "derivative work","blacklist",whitelist" etc,some sites might find themselves in the ISP/Phorm blacklists..., but most likely, only those that can easly afford the upfront court fees to take the ISP/Phorm to court (anyone can take them to court and get the outlayed costs returned after they win OC,but chancers like these ISP/Phorm executives hope you wont take them there to begin with, or those silly enough to provide personal proof of ownership and website addresses to BT etc).
i never really gave it much thought ,but it seems any end to end tunnel
might give you as end users server users, some form of protection, and as i advocate Multicasting
then i wonder if peter barnes simple and free java based Multicast client/server tunnel will inadvertently protect you as an end user, accessing your own home LAN contents remotely.
and as an extra bonus if its setup right,save you some bandwidth if your for instance remotely watching your Multicast streamed TV/content through it.

"The mTunnel is an application that tunnels multicast packets over an unicast UDP channel.
Several multicast streams can be sent over the same tunnel while the tunnel will still only use one port.
This is useful if tunneling through a firewall.
The applications primary goal is to allow for easy tunneling of multicast over for instance a modem and/or an ISDN connection.
The mTunnel has a built in Web-server allowing for easy access to information about current tunnels.
This server listens by default on port 9000 on the machine where started.
The mTunnel also listens on session announcements for easier tunneling of known sessions.
If you download and install this package please send me an email! :-) (peppar@cdt.luth.se.invalid )
The latest public version is 0.3 released 980102.
