You'd have to have the technical knowledge to keep the server up and maintained on Akkadius' hosting.
Akkadius charges money to keep the hosting up as well, so you'd have to pay monthly, it isn't a free service typically.

Hosting isn't just an EQEmulator server that stays running; it's a full fledged operating system that requires maintaining.

In terms of server software, there's a bunch of exploits that have been fixed in recent years so you'd have to either update the code or backport them to your codebase.
You would also need the quest scripts from your defunct server as well.

Beyond that it should just be 'compile and run'.
