Curious, if I were to host, is it possible with any computer on a dedicated internet connection? Obviously rather than a domain name, I would just have my IP itself, but is it that simple?
Yes, yes. As long as it's possible for users to connect to your ports and no Firewall or NAT interferes.

And if so, can only one game be hosted on a machine at once?
You can have multiple instances of game servers running. I am using the wonderful "screen" command for that. You could achieve the same if you launch them as background process, but then you'd have to look up PIDs if you need to kill one.
