Hi all,

is it legal to run a web hosting business from home on 100mb virgin media 'home' broadband?
 
ok thanks, im not 'seriously' considering this, its just another idea.
what other money making things can a rack of old xeon server blades be used for?
(approximately 28 solo core xeons @ 2.7ghz and 56gb of DDR...)
 
ok so, not buying in the first place/selling that kind of array would be the logical answer then?
 
Yeah, power costs make it unfeasible to run older hardware from home, it's all about power per watt. It costs roughly £1/Watt/Year, double that if you need air con. You'd struggle to sell enough hosting to cover the costs.

haha, yeah i see your point :)
