Thread: Home Dev Server

    Home Dev Server

    If I setup a development server at home, at what point will my isp (comcast) start to get upset about incoming traffic?

    Depends on their policy, and whether or not the server can actually be seen from the internet. Your best bet is to call their helpline and ask them, although someone on here may have first hand experience of this (which is obviously not me - i'm in the UK! )

    Why would a local dev server be seeing incoming traffic? I have one right here for db and script work, and I never need to leave the LAN to connect to it.

    Maybe what he wants to say is that he will host a server at home.

    I ran game servers for myself and a couple friends (usually about 10 was all my comcast could handle) years ago and never got any complaints. Things might be different now though... do they specifically state that you can't run a home server in your contract?

    I'd hope the OP would be able to distinguish the difference in a development box and a public facing live box.
