Re: Using a server on FiOS?
said by VZ_FiOS :
Are there any configurations needed to run a server on a residential account?
As already stated, you can go against the TOS for a residential account and run a server. Now. As in: right now. Stop reading this, move a way from your browser, and have at it 
However, port 80 is blocked. You can set up a web server to use port 80 but it will never ever see any external traffic. So set it up to use a different port.
EDIT: Oh and you might want to use a service like dyndns.org to map your technically dynamic IP to a hostname and get a client that will automatically update dyndns.org when your IP changes. |

@myvzw.com | Thanks for the info about port 80 and using a service like dyndns.org.
Are there any changes needed to run e-mail on the server with FiOS, such as ports being blocked? |

| Buzzz wrong! I've benn running a web and mail server for over a year without a problem. I've also moved several clients to the business service running Exchange or Lotus Notes Servers without a problem. There is a difference between mail being bounced because its on a dynamic ip and a blacklist. |
