For anyone who needs the encouragement: I am running much (but not all) of my web presence off an old computer in my parents' networking cabinet.
I've got Git & SSH running there, providing me most of what I want regarding code hosting. Plus I added a CGit web UI for something to link you to.
And I've got nginx serving *several* static websites!
This takes *very* little maintainance and nicely illustrates how peer-to-peer hosting could do away with the need for many Silicon Valley offerings!

Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve your parents?
I have several things (e.g., offsite backups) that I'd prefer not to host at my own location. And I'd gladly provide my own hardware and pay more than I currently pay for a cheap VPS – even if I was just on a residential/small business Internet connection.
But, obliging relatives aside, that doesn't seem to exist
@codesections @alcinnz colocation services are still very much available. The second hand server market is pretty vibrant too.
