At this point the _cheapest_ way to run a real webserver is to get a one meg DSL connection, or to find an ISP that's willing to let you put your box in their server room. Both of these will run you somewhere between 250-500 dollars a month. A T1 is more like 1000/month, and the hardware is much more expensive. A T3 is probably very out of your price range. visi.com has prices for such things out on their website. A cheaper solution is just to host a website on an ISP's servers until you actually have a need to go with your own box, or run it off a standard static DSL link (between 50 and 100 dollars a month).

I am more concerned with the monthly T1/T3 rental expenses and things like that. Is there a cheaper solution ? How expensive is it to maintain a T1/T3 ?
