Don't a bunch of residential ISP's not allow HTTP?

I must contradict this. Virgin Media (a large UK ISP), as well as other service providers, see running a web server on a residential Internet connection a violation of the Terms of Service.

(Unless I misunderstood your point.)

Every major ISP I've used has disallowed hosting websites since about 2002 or so when Comcast, my provider at the time, changed their policy.
