I've boot-strapped projects while doing full time jobs. I have trouble imagining not being willing to put a few bucks into it. If you need to mentally justify it, think of it as the "risky" part of your investment strategy. A virtual server can be a good starting point. I recommend rimuhosting. You can get something at the low end of workable for around 30 bucks a month, there. Shared hosting can be passable, it depends what framework you're using. Capacity is a problem to solve as-you-go, though. Legality aside, is your current problem hosting-related? If it's not, I say focus on building something users love.
