someodd, 
Would you pay $5/month for me to run your own XMPP server?
I'd even set up domains for you, everything basically. And I'd relinquish everything to you on request (I won't pay for domains/transfers though).
I'd do backups and archives. You could pay me to make a tape archive and send it to you.
Is there something like this idea you'd like me to offer?
