Can I host a Web site on a PC connected to a satellite system?
Technically possible, not recommended at the satellite terminal location. The nature of a Web server is to get hits from the World Wide Web. The connection speeds using the satellite platform are essentially asymmetric (i.e., they are much faster coming into the PC than going out from it). It is best practice to host a Web Site on a “BIG” commercial pipe where the amount of monthly throughput is not measured. As well, the user experience will suffer at both ends as the satellite users will have contention with the Web server for the available bandwidth, the outside users will find the website speed reduced compared to terrestrial links. This comes down to efficient use of bandwidth. You may have a personal Web site hosted by an outside provider. However, most of our dealers would gladly host your E-mail and Web server at their locations.
No. Because connection speeds using the satellite platform are essentially asymmetric (i.e., they are much faster coming into the PC than going out from it), we do not allow you to use your satellite-connected PC for hosting a Web site.

StarBand offers e-mail as a standard part of the StarBand service. Your e-mail address will be yourname@starband.net. • Will StarBand service be disrupted if the satellite dish antenna is accidentally knocked out of alignment? Yes, your service will be disrupted. An improperly aligned antenna may cause significant interference with other satellite transmissions, resulting in reduced performance for you and/or other customers using the same satellite. It is possible you may not notice a change in performance, but may be causing significant interference for other customers. Your StarBand sate
No. Because connection speeds using the satellite platform are essentially asymmetric (i.e., they are much faster coming into the PC than going out from it), HughesNet does not allow you to use your satellite-connected PC for hosting a Web site. However, you may have a personal Web site hosted by an outside provider and will be able to access it through HughesNet.
