I've got a server that Ghan runs for me from wiredtree.com but it's currently underutilized and I'd like to find some people who need hosting to help pay for it, but it seems that places like Web Hosting Talk are generally for companies only and I'm just one guy with a single server here.... Any ideas on what I should do?

Host files for people. You just need a good HD. It could be like $0.5/Gbit/month or something like that. Create a FTP access for the users.

Or you could host a "Host" like an irc, for someone.

I don't think there is a simple solution.

We already own a second server for Minecraft SMP :) If you want to play.

And if theres any good place to advertise hosting or something. Those are all good ideas.

set it up so you can VPN through it so that you have a secure internet connection when traveling

You bought a server without planning on using it for anything? If it's a VPS and you aren't utilizing it, you could probably fly with Shared Hosting to save money. It's though to find someone who want's to split the cost though cause it's simply just Shared Hosting for them. :p

Three reasons for the VPS:

1. Shared hosting is crap.
2. It's tough to do things like your own Teamspeak 3 install with shared hosting.
3. The host had a 50% off for life coupon at the time we got it.

-Host porn for 5 bucks a month? lol
-try calling up some local businesses that need advertising and offer it cheep like a few bucks a month (or like $0.10 per click or something) then just increase your traffic and spam it on people's facebooks and what not lol
-put one of those donation boxes at the top :p
