I have comcast business class. I have only a single IP (I didnt need
the other 4). and from time to time I have hosted more than one
website on the cable modem. It isnt like hosting at a hosting
provider (DreamHost costs me 7$/month and has a lot more bandwidth
that I can use and much lower ping times). Normally I only host
friends sites that they are developing and want to do it "off the
commercial grid"
