Do telewest allow...

Hi... I was just wondering, do Telewest allow you to host your own webserver using their packages? I have heard that some ISPs don't allow this, but can't find any info about it on their site.

I know I wouldn't be able host anything special due to the low upload speeds, but it would be fun to try

I believe they do unless the usage of the site starts to impact other users of their network.

Thank you... Now I have a use for that old computer that's gathering dust

yes they allow...

however even 384kbps is not fast enough really if yr website has downloads on it...
It is only good for a text/small pics site.
no downloads, streams etc... or large photos.

Yeah, I was thinking of a really basic site... Just like a logo and text on each page. I'm not actually that bothered about the site for now, I'd just like to doo it, so I can say I have.

I didn't want to go ahead with it just incase I'd get kicked off of telewest or something though.
