@work is the business side of the
@home internet broadband cable system. It's not available in all areas, but basically it's a bigger
pipe with the additional benefit of allowing
http/
ftp/
mail servers. The lowest
business model is a
portmap to forward whatever server you're running. If you double the price, you can get a
static IP address.
I've just signed up to upgrade my @home to an @work line. I'm already paying several assorted companies to host the 5 (soon to be 8, thanks to Simonc) domains I own. After everything is up and running, I'll have complete control over a server sitting on my desk. I don't have the traffic issues that /. or E2 has, so it'll be just perfect. I'll actually be saving money because I won't have to continue paying hosting companies.
