You have more courage than many people for trying this at all. I think the best thing you can do is to take a break, relax, and come back to it with a fresh mind. Reread all the steps and give it another try. If you accomplish this yourself, you will learn a great deal in the process and you

The most ecological solution generally is sharing one dedicated server between many users. Each of them can administrate her own virtual machine. By sharing, the load is more constant: the hardware does not spend as much electricity being idle. The hardware in question usually is server-spe

You can install servers on your own hardware. Even low-end machines can be more than enough. It depends on the server and on the number of clients simultaneously connecting to your server (e.g., with a Web server, how many visitors at the same time). If the machine is, at the same time, used

You can, if you don't turn off your PC often and don't carry it around regularly. But why would you need to use virtual OS instead of your normal OS? That's doesn't seem efficient and it will require more resources.
