I always think of a server as one dedicated machine - but in today's market, is one rentable commercial server able to spin-up all 60-90 server-instances needed to host P1999?

Pretty sure Rogean
doesn't use a "rentable commercial server": the dude has rack space and builds his own (powerful) machines to run P99. (If you dig hard enough, you should be able to find an old post from him where he shares a picture of one.)
I'm sure one could use AWS or something similar to "spin up" zones as needed, but even with just micro-sized EC2 instances, running even 60 at once would be very cost prohibitive (we're talking like $300/month without even using EBS or other AWS features). However, you might be able to make it work with just one very large server (eg. an A1) ... but you'd have to see (or check in with the larger EQ Emulator community, as I'm sure people have tried it before).
