Does your ISP allow you to host your own server for a small website without paying for a commercial plan? I recently moved and my new ISP doesn’t allow the port to be open.

    Mine does.

    Is your ISP actively stopping you forwarding ports or is just a limitation of the router they provide? You could try a different router and see whether you can forward ports using that.

    I forward port 443 to my load balancer which then sends traffic to the relevant server for the website being asked for which allows me to host multiple sites easily.

    Also, not sure if you know but there’s a dedicated !selfhosted@lemmy.world community which might be up your street.

    Cheers, and good luck!
