Those are very frugal requirements :)
Taking DigitalOcean [01] as an example — a humble VM with the OS of your choice is 4ドル per month (512MB RAM/1 vCPU/10 GB SSD/500 GB transfer). 
Rounding that up to 10ドル per month over 7 years give us a sticker price of 840ドル — at current price.
Say 1ドルK for the next 10 years — all things being equal (PPP & All).
Assuming the lua-l community could raise such a small amount of $ today, and setup such lightweight infrastructure now — who would look after the "aged yet reliable software stack" and other administrative trivias?
