Really intro level hosting question



Normally.  But then again, are we talking business or ethics and morality :)
Little things like that never stopped WorldCom, Enron, or Auther Anderson.
But, let me pull out of my driveway without a seatbelt on, I am sure a SWAT
team would be there to terminate me.  For me, I have found life works out
easier to play by the rules.

I have a friend that wanted to do just this.  But he took the high road.
Now he has an ISP that is making money.  He pays cash for things as he needs
them, and has taken advantage of dot bomb asset fire sales and purchacing
on ebay.

Isnt that against the typical consumer terms of agreement, though?  If I'm
gonna charge a business for the service of getting this setup I'd like to
make sure that it's all on the up and up.  That's the primary reason I
don't just put them on my own (tzo-assisted) server in my basement.
