i bring you, the incredible concept of a dedicated server.

A few games, small ones, like minecraft, have discovered that you can just release a server binary, and people will figure everything else out, regardless of whether or not you document anything, or tell anybody how to do anything.

Even if you have a huge MMO with a centralized server, i see no reason you shouldn't have a dedicated server infrastructure.
