A Server in Every Home

What would be the impact on the web if everyone online had their own http server? If everyone owned their own server possibly, probably, through a web hosting service like 1and1 or one of the many other services available for small fees, then a myriad of opportunities for entertainment, software development, and many other products and services, would be realistically possible. Everything needed for such a change to occur is already available except maybe training and/or documentation type resources, but that could be remedied fairly quickly.
What do you think?
