Re: Running a server and your TOS

So technically no one can use their services because there are servers built into every computer now days. All kinds of business apps run on internal servers on local machines and communicate with the master server located elsewhere. Many other applications have servers built in or utilize the internal server capabilities of your windows PC.

You are at their mercy no matter what.

The servers that the TOS referees to are things like mail and web servers, What your describing runs on the LAN, or even inside the computer itself. Frankly, the only reason most TOSs don't allow servers is because a misconfigured server can cause havoc on the network. Also in most cases, the cable co uses the "server ban" as an excuse to bump up the business customers to a business plan.

As long as your server is working as intended, not illegal, and not causing problems to the network, chances are it wont even be noticed.
