The simplest web server I'm aware of is `python http.server 8080`
... and even for that, I had to disable / re-enable the firewall and fish around in the docs just last night to get the dang thing to accept connections from a source other than localhost (PROTIP: when running on a pretty-out-of-the-box Windows 10 config, the default options bind listeners to IPv6, not IPv4). And I definitely wouldn't recommend that configuration for production; you'll open yourself up to a universe of pain.
But as an analogy for setting up an email server vs. just subscribing to Google or whoever, I accept it. ;)
