Topic: Take it easy, based server a problem?

My suggestions:

Get a laptop or desktop that can boot from a usb hard-drive (HD) – May be you already have it.

Setup on the usb HD any unix flavor that can run perl, openssl, apache, mysql, php, etc (a webserver) -- I choose freebsd 9.2

Make sure your router will serve names on local net – I choose Bind 99.

Soon as you’re done with configuration, you can install FA and play with without paying for hosting.

Good Luck,
AHR
