Uh, if you can't figure that out from the directions, maybe you shouldn't run your own server?

It's ludicrous to suggest that everyone should run their own server. It's like saying they should all build their own cars.

It's more like suggesting that they should drive their own cars, pump their own gas, or change their own tires in an emergency. Nobody is suggesting that people should be able to program a webserver.
I agree, but people aren't going to pay someone to run a server for them when Facebook, twitter, snapchat, etc are free.

It's also hard to argue that it's fundamentally different if you don't run it yourself.
