I want to operate my own server with DSL, am I allowed?

Servers like web? Ftp? mp3 streaming? Sure, although read your contract first. Some DSL services will forbid servers. Others make it harder. Still others scan for servers and alert the administrators if they find them.. possibly they are monitored and you are asked to explain them if your contract forbids them.

The easy way to find out more is to ask in the forum for your ISP or provider, here on the site.
