So far my experience with Host Gator is pretty positive. They are pretty highly ranked.

This will almost never work in the states. Theres only one major ISP that doesn't block port 80. so pretty much every one on the forum will not be able to use this method. Could always use a diffrent port but that usually works out poorly.

I work for one of the biggest webhosting companys out there. If you want I could hook a few of you guys up with some test accounts and you can just kick back whatever you can. Let me know if your interested and I can figure out a way for you to contact me.

might that be comcast? i just assumed all major ISP's allowed it, funny too cause back when i had dialup (~5years ago) i did the same thing (i know the idea of web serving over dialup is disgusting)
