Well it's as good as your argument that if two operating systems share some code they're the same operating system.0 -

I host my own (Linode XEN) mail and other personal services through http, calendar and such. So, I can host a website.
So stop trying to be smart.

The only restriction you put on the offer was that it was a small amount of traffic, and the load was not to great (ie calculating pi).
This means, you could be hosting a business website, or a personal website with confidential data stored in a database etc.
Im guessing, you wont have what normal hosts have, ie
UPS with secondary backups (generators).
High bandwidth capacity (in case someone goes crazy on another site your hosting).
Decent Security (access control systems, CCTV, locked server cages/rooms)
Adequate fire suppression /detection systems.
Automated regular backups, with off site backups taken to.
Business insurance.
Data protection registration.
Liability insurance
etc
etc[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
[/greenhighlight][redtitle]
The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0
