If/when I manage to get a better internet connection, I could host a few.
Right now, I'm stuck with a satellite connection which, aside from being
somewhat slow on bit rate and absolutely glacial on latency, has draconian
bit quotas, both up and down.  And they slow it down a whole lot more if I
exceed them.  It's the only drawback to living out in tallgrass prairie,
which is in all other respects, wonderful.  I continue to work on
alternatives.
