No. There are web servers available for Win95. See http://www.tucows.com/

1) Expense.
2) Additional binaries that provide additional services. E.g the ability
act as an AppleShare server.
3) The legal right to allow more than 10 simultaneous connections to the
machine.

Time and money. Depending on what services you are planning to offer your
site may be inappropriate for hosting on an mit.edu address. In this case
you would have to use an external ISP.
