The project seems to be interesting, but I doubt anyone would volunteer 
for taking care of a server on a long-term basis.  Why just not get a 
PHP/MySQL shared hosting packages?  You an get one for less than 
10$/month. http://iweb8.com/web-hosting/ for example.  This is in a way 
more reliable than a single server, because they have a cluster of web 
servers and a cluster of MySQL servers, so they are a lot less likely to 
have downtime.  And this is managed, updated, backed up and so on.  The 
smallest package http://iweb8.com/web-hosting/micro/ should last for 
some time, and may fit in a permanent manner.  If you ever get more than 
5GB of data, the second package gives you 10GB for 12.77/month.

You can get even cheaper packages:

The deluxe plan gives you 100GB space for 5.59/month!
