Gab uses its own server hardware now to protect from getting its site deplatformed.

Is anything stopping Internet providers from cutting off their services?

Maybe it's a good time to start a web hosting company that has a permissive Terms of Service (and sticks to it).

In one word, yes. You can use your own server and still be taken down by your ISP. The only thing you can do is move to a co-located sever in a country not hostile to its customers.

In spite of this, ICANN can remove the A record that resolves your IP address. Piratebay had this problem. All you can do is be prepared to move your hosting provider to sympathetic hosting companies and have a bunch of backup A records with various domains.
