    Valid points. Also too, the cost associated with a business class data plan that actually allows hosting. If you think about it, it really is an arbitrary restriction put in place by ISPs to goad those who want to leverage the internet’s potential into more expensive plans.

      You can get a VPS for $30/year with 4GB RAM, 25-35 GB SSD. Still good enough to host some things! Self hosting doesn’t mean it has to be at your house. In some cases, using a VPS ends up cheaper than just the electricity cost for hosting at home, let alone hardware costs, internet costs, etc.
