Well, that was the idea behind yahoo mail, could access it from anywhere, airport, home, train, sea. I still use it for emergency and not urgent stuff. They data-mine everything. It is infested with irritating useless stuff and what is left does not work right.
So, given your own server and ssh in Linux, what is it you cannot do? Plus I have a website hosted in 'merrica for a few dollars a year. that does not work right and the helpdesk is useless, so again and again I think about moving the site back here too. In fact it is up now and then.
It is not that a 'server' is something special, every 35$ IP webcam is one. My Linksys WiFi access point is one, it used to be online, did not want to go into programming MIPS and the Raspi takes less power. I do have the MIPS cross compiler installed on an other PC.
Anyways, server-push... I just wrote an other internet server see my posting in sci.crypt, so might as well use the code and get rid of Apache and php, and read up on server-push in html5 and DIY . Amazing when I was backing up that 16GB SDcard (it uses tar -zcvf) I see all those files fly by, 90% of the sh*t on that Raspi should not need to be there, like PCI drivers in Linux kernel LOL, plus all those network cards, plus Qt? Plus... you would not believe the age of bloat we are in. Sure, I can do web server on a PIC 18F (I did a UDP stack for the LED lights on it), so ...
I had a nightmare that I was working for a Telco and boss made a 8 layer board with a signal generator that spit out random noise to fill up the part of spectrum he was not using, hard to argue, I woke up, did I eat something wrong ;-)?
