> I just contacted RoadRunner and they said, no they don't block port

them or not.
I just noticed this post. I went through this myself recently. Road
Runner as a company doesn't block port 80 but in some areas the local
cable connector company might. As far as web servers being prohibited on
RR, I have heard them say it is not allowed but have been unsuccessful
in locating any place in their agreement that says so.
I have Cox Cable in Fairfax County, Northern Virginia just outside
Washington DC. In some areas of the county (including mine) port 80 is
blocked because they were having system overloads from that Code Red
problem last summer. Other parts of the county it is not blocked. I have
several Xitami servers running in friends homes around the county. I
have given up on using port 80 and use 443. My DNS forwarding service (
http://www.dns2go.com ) gives you the ability to change the port of a
domain preceded with the www. I think that the Xitami service also
allows this but am not sure. Hope this gives some more info.
