alt Hacker NewsWhat do you mean by popular? I hosted a site on a home machine in the early teens. If you don't know how to do that with NAT, you should not have a web server under your control exposed to the internet.

The early teens didn’t have huge proliferation of ISPs using CGNATs.
These days ISP can’t get hold of new IPv4 blocks, and increasingly don’t provide public IP addresses to residential routers, not without having to pay extra for that lowly single IPv4 address.
Hosting a website behind a NAT isn’t as trivial as it used to be, and for many it’s now impossible without IPv6.
