If you were to portforward your router for a hotel, you would be vunreable to attacks on your router, if you wanted a domain you would need a paypal account/creditcard and buy from somewhere like 00webhost although they do offer free ones.

If your portforward you'd be using your own PC as the server = Leaving the PC on 24/7, more vulnerable to attacks directly to your router etc.

If you buy a VPS you don't need your PC to stay on, more protection etc.

But either way you can do it.

You would not need a VPS if you portforward, however, this will lead your personal computer in being vulnerable to Internet attacks especially ping floods. I suggest buying VPS from brickvps.com or host1plus.com.
