Creating a Server in Nepal at one of the ISPs participating within the local internet exchange (nPIX) would certainly benefit the browsing experience for people at Nepal (10-30ms). They practically have tons of bandwidth available within, rather than data flowing all the way from satellites or undersea cables (500-750ms).
Any commodity hardware , a simple PC with linux would do at first. But, as the traffic increases, you may want to increase the capacity resources (storage and memory).
Running Multiple websites would require you to virtually host them. Apache can easily do that for you in *nix platforms.
The running cost would be the domain name PLUS monthly static IP charge. You can reduce on the domain name by using a .np cctld. Thats provided by Mercantile Communications, KTM for FREE.
If you setup the server in US, you'd lose the high bandwidth feature that your website would benefit from if it were a part of "local" internet exchange in Nepal. But cost-wise, it might be effective. Try askin' quotes from Service Providers in Nepal with these requirements and from providers here and compare.
Basically, all you need is a static IP address, and rest is done. Provided they dont block port 80 for hosting websites.
I hope this helps and Gluck for the effort.
Also, when there are plenty people who can help for free, setup these causes, you dont need to pay extra bucks to the other suckers! If you got what i mean.
