That's not a stupid question, and yes, that is exactly what I was trying to say.
You can test all of your crazy ideas on your local server, which is no different (in the server software) than a public server. The only difference between a local server and a public server is that the local server connects to a login server that is running on your machine (that no one has access to), but a public server connects to the main login server that everyone has access to.
You can export your database and give it to whomever you want. Your quests are just Perl scripts that can be easily transferred.
You can even make code changes in the server and give them the diffs to compile, but I doubt that you'll find someone willing to do this for you.
Find a guide and follow it to the letter if this is what you want to do.
