should be find depending on the chat server.
I mean hell we used to do this way back in the day with IRC and Quake servers. it's not hard at all and you don't need to over think it. I mean it's not like the thing is going to crash often so I'm not sure why you want to spread it out. I generally reboot my server like once a month and it takes all of 5min.
Depending on the game and the type of chat server you're looking to run I don't think you need to over think it. Just start out with like a VPS, see how it goes, maybe switch it up to a dedicated. neither are expensive.
