The easiest way to run a Monero node, without affecting your home bandwidth, is to purchase a VPS (Virtual Private Server). We strongly recommend InterServer.net using the 'MONERO' coupon code to get a discount over and above their already cheap $ 6 / month VPS. Using this coupon code and / or our affiliate link will also assist in the ongoing funding of Monero development.
