I believe we all have our interpretation of laws and rules in America; unless there are consequences?
Actually, you agree with the Acceptable Use Policy that you will not run a "server". It also addresses business use in a vague way (doesn't everyone use their home office for "business")?
Commercial Use. The Service is designed for personal, non-business
related use of the Internet and may not be used for commercial purposes. You may not resell or
otherwise charge others to use the residential Service. You agree not to use the Service for
operation as an Internet service provider, or for any other business enterprise, including,
without limitation, IP address translation or similar facilities intended to provide additional access.
Cox Business Services offers commercial Internet services.
Servers. You may not operate, or allow others to
operate, servers of any type or any other device, equipment, and/or software
providing server-like functionality in connection with the Service, unless
expressly authorized by Cox.

My interpretation of the AUP, is that they don't want you running then "Next Slashdot" or "Face Book", with lots of traffic.If you are only going to use it for personal access, and maybe to show family photos to friends, then I don't think it would be a problem.Are we talking Hundreds, Thousands, or 20 visitors ?
So I have cox at home so I obviously would violate the AUP self hosting and frankly I am cheap... wait no frugal. Anyway I would like to find a place to host my domain free but without ads or if it has ads it allows choice of placement in the design.

I use the page for:
Public display of personal projects (usually involving LAMP components and libcurl is a definite desire)
Personal home page and info
Code dumping of projects and shell scripts for peer review.
I imagine traffic will be low as I am not that popular of a person but you can never have too much storage or bandwith..
