I had the impression that many ISPs make self-hosting impractical on normal household plans, but then I've never looked into it seriously.

Dunno, I have unlimited uploads and downloads @ 100 mbit, and I host both this Wikipedia mirror as well as a search engine and some other stuff.

The bandwidth usage is pretty inconsequential since most of my pages clock in at just a few kilobytes.
