It is not that hard to do.
No banner ads, lots of disk space.

Hey, can you tell me more about this? I would like to try setting something like this up. What would I need to install, and how can I protect the rest of my home network while allowing one machine to be public?

Choose a computer that has a webserver on it. (XP & IIS or something)
Set a static LAN IP. 192.168.0.2 for instance. Configure your cable router to port forward 80 to 192.168.0.2. Find your dynamic WAN IP. Go to your frind's house and type in your dynamic WAN IP into your browser address. Wow, your hosting your own site!

There are many ways to protect your home sytems, here are two ideas:
1. Make sure your web server is updated and secure.
2. Put your home systems are behind a hardware firewall, or have software firewalls on all of them.

what sort of a name is that?????

oh, and i would change the font colour if i were you, and make the buttons abit less...umm......giffy......
other then that nice site, and cool host.

Um... well, I visited questgames.tk and I got three popup ads.
I like your site though.

@jachin
questgames.tk has ads because its a .tk, and .tk puts ads on it. but i mean the host itself (cox) puts no ads on it.

So I would have to get a domain from somewhere else...

Oh, wow! $0.00
It [almost] beats hosting it yourself.
Especialy if you are looking to host .net apps!
Very cool.
