[olug] Cox and Web Servers

[William E. Kempf]

How does everyone else work around Cox blocking port 80?  Specifically, is
there some other port you'd recommend running on instead, and is there some
service similar to dyndns that would map an URL transparently to this
alternate port?  Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it seems like such a
service could be provided.  If not, short of paying Cox the ridiculous fees
they want for a business connection, which this isn't, is there any other
way to get Cox to open the port up, such as complaining to the right
individual about how this is a terrible business practice on their part.
And lastly, if there's no palatable answer to any of these questions, is
there an alternative high speed Internet provider that doesn't block ports
and sits in the same general price range as Cox?
