Not something that would have to be on all the time, but more something that can be off overnight. This question feels like it has an obvious yes/no answer that I’m missing.

    It would make sense to host something on your main machine if your main machine will be the only machine that needs to access it.

    If you have any other devices that will use that hosted service, imagine how annoying it will be to try and use it, forget that you didn’t turn your main machine on yet today and you have to get up and go turn it on. And for what? What positive benefit would you get to counteract that inconvenience?
