  • The end user experience for your website would be terrible and inconsistent, phones don’t have the kind of uptime and availability that you would need, and keeping them plugged in 24/7 in a closet doing computational tasks is a good way to end up with battery bulge and one spicy mini pillow.

    There are too many nefarious purposes that could benefit from being able to serve public web services from your smartphone and no consumer benefits that average people would care about.

    Fortunately it doesn’t matter what I want to allow and is up to the cellular service providers which have all kinds of stipulations about what constitutes as service abuse and using an inordinate amount of bandwidth is usually one of them.

    So for security safety and service stability reasons, yeah, there is no legitimate reason why it SHOULD be allowed. Just spend the $5 monthly on the hardware and bandwidth instead of potentially making your neighbors cell data worse or setting your house on fire/ blowing up your closet just so you can have an unconventional web server.
