Speaking of which, Update runs its own DNS servers, web servers, and just about anything else as well. And we don't have any bandwidth limitations, and we have a pretty high bandwidth in general (maybe more than most places).

I just don't personally care much about fixing web pages. While I certainly can manage DNS records, I'm so old school that I keep them in static files for bind to use. And I haven't checked what Update is running now, so I don't know how much of that I could do. But there are a few other Updaters around here as well, who might chime in.
I'm in a similar situation.   My colo box is MY hardware (sorry, it runs
Solaris, not VMS) and I have no restrictions on the bandwidth other than
"don't be an ass".   100Mbit.   The current server is a POS but the there
has been a replacement server delivered that should be going in at some
point.   I can host web content, but I, like you, don't care to be mucking
about with web pages (although I will if needed to).
I'm not opposed to dynamic DNS and/or DB backed DNS (which i might be setting
up soon anyway) if people want to be able to manage their own DNS for any
domains that I might host.   I can also be a slave to any domains for anyone
who needs.

He he. About the same as here then.
Except I think we're at Gbit ethernet locally to Uppsala University, and I think it's redundant 10 Gb to the rest of SUNet. And from SUNet I'm not sure what speeds we have over the atlantic and down to the rest of europe, but it's probably acceptable. :-) (Yes, we're spoiled.)

But on the other hand, I don't mind other people taking initiatives, and making stuff happen either.
It's nice, isn't it?   Get them all interested and then make THEM do the work. :)

Guilty as charged. The only thing that surprise me is that I have been playing with HECnet and trying to get more people connected for so long (I think I've soon been doing this for ten years), and recently the number of connected places, and people, have started to accelerate. And now I start seeing activities for doing stuff around this whole thing by others as well.
Great fun.
