What do you want to host?
I've got a mini PC and it is superb as a file server and it also runs virtual machines where I do a lot of software development.
I am truly impressed with the capabilities of the device
Same. I run a dns, media, fs, seed box, misc windows and Linux vms on an Intel NUC with Proxmox. Works great. Picking up one of the sale beelinks soon!
you can host on a raspberry pi.
the question shouldn't be can you host, it should be about what you want to host. there's tons of things one can host. see the links in the sidebar of this sub's feed page.
You can host on almost any PC that supports the OS for your application. How much of it you can host really depends on the specs of the machine.
