im not sure if this the right place to pose these questions. i know about pcs but not much about anything else. so i apologize if these questions are painfully annoying.

i was thinking of creating a website which would have about 40 separate chat rooms all running simultaneously.

i know its possible, what im trying to find out is whether its practical. how much would it cost to get it up and running and properly maintained?

im thinking it would very difficult to create and maintain, is it? if so why?

if its reasonably possible to do with some hard work how would i go about it?
i know about getting a domain and exploring options of getting a service to provide 1 chat room. what about 40 chat rooms? if not what are the most chat rooms i would be able to realistically install on a website?

can i support the chat rooms using my own servers? if so which servers would i need? and about how many?

appreciate all input.
