Depends on how popular the site you are going to host is. I would scrap the idea if I were you, unless you are going to serve mostly tet only.

when you say 750kb, is that download or upload? Download is of no importance, it's the upload that you need.

750kb is the download, then the upload would most likely be half or more of of it. If you wanna host it for a large number of mates, I'd say no way you'll be able to handle that.

hi,

You would be better off buying some webhosting. I tried this once and its not good espically for privacy on sp2 didnt do it no good :)

Just buy a reseller account to start off with if you don't wanna spend loads - they're really not that expensive...
