Making an Independent Web Site?

Posted by Cliff on from the whatever-happened-to-the-free-internet dept.

KinsmanCa asks: "Lately I've been thinking of opening a website - but looking over what web hosts provide, I don't like the idea of having a bandwith limit of so many gigabtyes per month, or having to be mindful of what the provider considers community standards. How can I create a website that's as independent as possible? By which I mean, pay as few bills to as few people as possible, and have to answer to nobody but the law itself as far as my content goes? Assume that I'm willing to pay a lot as far as hardware or initial setup costs go. How much autonomy can a regular person get on the Internet?"

    Is it just me, or does this thread seem to have transformed /. into one giant classified ads section.

    Whoever modded me 'Flamebait' is dumber than Dan Marino. Anyway, sorry for munging the link, here's the correct one (even clickable this time!)

    Would you look at that, Slashdot thinks I'm a page widener. Fuck it, might as well turn troll full-time if this is how I'll be treated anyway.
