Of course, it is your time you spend on maintenance, but MySQL backups are
trivial to perform: mysqldump is the only essential thing.

I remember of one guy running RackTables on IIS, I merged a small bugfix from
him. I guess, he was using a Windows version of MySQL. This could also work for
you.
Alternatively, for $5/mo you could get a working LAMP hosting, which would run
your copy of RackTables and save your time. I hope it helps.
