Hosting my own masternode for ethereum?

[Bitminer2017]

I'm trying to learn how I can host my own masternode for Ethereum or any other crypto. From what I've read it requires dedicated servers, public ip addresses, and some good amount of bandwidth all running 24/7 which I already have. The only thing I lack is the money to own x amount of xyz crypto to stake to be a master node.


Am I correct in this?

If so, what do I do once I obtain the required amount of crypto to be allowed into this masternode system? Does someone involved in ethereum send me the links to the software to install onto my servers to then start being a masternode?


I'm sure I sound very newbish to many of you but thanks to those who help.

My background is that I build, host, and maintain servers. I'm a network engineer. CCNA certified, and certified in at least a dozen other areas in IT. So I have at least some IT background to help support my adventure.

I highly recommend you to check Ambrosus masternode - their cryptoecomonical model described really good -  https://blog.ambrosus.com/ambernomics-a-cryptoeconomy-for-supply-chains-db6ee2467741. Moreover, they are constantly represented on various conferences, you can speak with them or watch a video. And actually not far ago they visualized the prerogatives to hold masternodones -
