I figure I could make multiple "single user instance" and give them away to people, but it looks like your have to pay 20$ per domain and renew them forever, that's pretty expensive for a 12$/year VPS
No you don't need to ask for permission to federate. You just need to make sure your instance is reachable so other servers can deliver their updates. If you want tips, RTFM.
