    Wasn’t this the intention of the web originally? I’m sure I remember reading about netscape and people hosting their own websites locally…

      That was the original plan. One thing that screwed with it was ADSL with very low upload speeds.

      If you are self-hosting, you need a symmetrical connection as you are sending the site to everyone who visits. If you are using the net only to consume (download) it is not as important.

        True, the ability to effectively serve content was outpaced by the ability to make harder to serve content. But not anymore! For people with good connections anyway.
