This would probably actually happen. Not being sarcastic.
6$ a month to host a server.
32$ every 6 months to host a server.
68$ every year to host a server.
150$ for lifetime hosting.

7 year old kid goes up to his mom
Kid "Mom, can I PLEEEASE host a server?"
Mom "Is it free?"
Kid "Well, no. But PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE can I have it?"
Mom "Fine."
