Ok, I have no idea where to look for this stuff so please respond with
any links you can. I have a FreeBSD server that is running about 6
websites. As most ISP's don't want you to run servers over theri
connection, I need to find out what options are available for getting
and keeping my server live on the net! Would prefer if there was a
DSL company that will allow home server as my sites are only hitting
about 150,000 hits a day right now. If no ISP's are available, I
need to know or find out what kind of connection I will need to my
house, and what kind of equipment. How much will this cost? Please
respond with any information/links that will help.

Thanks in advance!

Don't be dense. Most ISP's have no problems letting you run servers
through them. However, they expect you to pay for the privilege. Most
"cheap" residential connections don't allow it, because you're not
covering the costs. Buy yourself a business DSL connection, or a T1, or
colocate your server. Expect to pay more than $49.95/month.

Almost all DSL providers offer a business grade service (which gives you one
or possibly a small subnet of fixed, routable IP addresses)-- generally for
about $100 or so additional per month.

For an example, compare:

You have two cheap options:

1) Get a DSL line that provides a static IP address and decent upstream. You
can search for one with local availability at www.dslreports.com. Expect to
pay around $70/month or so for this.

2) Colocate. You can get a decent machine at rackspace.com for $200/month.
For this you get: freedom from having to deal with hardware, far higher
speed, and greater network reliability.

I'll second the second suggestion. The only thing to watch
for is bandwidth pricing - because if you go more than you expect
you can get a * surprise. rackspace.com FreeBSD solutions
appear to start in the $350 range. I've computer other pricing
and on some of those if you start using enough bandwidth to be
equivalent of a T1 maxed out - you could be in for a rude shock.
This varies greatly from provider to provider.
