I'm not familiar with any public servers, but if one were up I'm sure it see
a lot of traffic and heavy processing loads.

As for your plan, you could do that or since you're going to be running a
linux box and assuming it could be on the web all the time, you could just
run an ssh server on it and just connect to it and run everything directly.
 That's what I'd do at least and I'd imagine it'd be more secure.

I don't know why you'd need a hosting site either when you could just run
that straight from your box...
