If you want a dedicated GC server that you can trust to not go down, your best bet is honestly to find the server software and set it up yourself. I couldn't tell you what the reliable GC server software is if I wanted to since I don't actually know (also the rules here), but I do know it's out there. I've tinkered with the BB server software and had it running once, it was pretty fun and actually easier than I expected (Someone on this site gave me some pointers, they were a really big help and the reason I pursued it).
It'd be a bit more complex to set up than, say, the minecraft server software, simply because it's not an "official" thing. But once it's up and running it'd be just as easy - start it up, connect your client, give your friends the information to connect. It wouldn't need any kind of heavy duty hardware to run smoothly at all. Back up the files on multiple hard drives if you're paranoid, but otherwise you're set for life.
Granted, it would be just you and your friends, so there'd be nobody else to trade with. But if that doesn't bother you and you just want to chill with some buds you're good to go.
