Does your ISP allow you to host your own server for a small website without paying for a commercial plan? I recently moved and my new ISP doesn’t allow the port to be open.

Mine does.
Is your ISP actively stopping you forwarding ports or is just a limitation of the router they provide? You could try a different router and see whether you can forward ports using that.
I forward port 443 to my load balancer which then sends traffic to the relevant server for the website being asked for which allows me to host multiple sites easily.
Cloudlfare tunnels might let you do what you need too. Worth checking.
Also, not sure if you know but there’s a dedicated [email protected] community which might be up your street.
Cheers, and good luck!
It’s a hard set closed port inbound for serving. I’m not sure a different router will work but I will look into it. At my prior residence I had fiber to the home and a direct Ethernet connection, so I was able to run my own firewall, control the ports, and have a commercial switch for all the computers. I miss my guaranteed asynchronous 1000/1000 connection. Now even with a Gig plan I’m lucky to get 300/30.
