Micky--

ADSL is not really appropriate. If you can get a contract at a reasonable 
price, an SDSL setup would be better. This gives fast connections both 
ways, and is generally a business-class offering (meaning you can host 
small Websites without running afoul of your hosting contract. That will be 
a problem with most inexpensive ADSL service). The majority of these 
services prohibit Web hosting for others--some severely limit what you can 
host for yourself on a residential account.
