It would be good to discuss what the options are here. The hardware can probably not be described as inexpensive, but it's also quite capable so not much is needed. Would trying to acquire a 2U rack mount server, and host it in a proper data centre be feasible? Because of both electricity usage and heat generation, it's going to be more difficult to host residentially I think.
