There is the MangaDex@Home, where users can serve part of disk space/bandwidth to help serve (mainly old) manga chapters. It does need to be something that is running 24/7 (e.g.: not a PC that is shutdown frequently), so something like a VPS or a service is recommended.

Virtually every chapter is served via MD@H now. Client doesn't really need much availability, as long as it can do a graceful shutdown. Even in the event of a sudden shutdown, the trust penalties are much lower than H@H and in practice go away after a trickle of traffic to raise your score

Nice, didn't know about this (there isn't much information about MD@H after the rewrite).

BTW, how can I register my VPS on MD@H? Before we had a dedicated form on the page to register interest, at least after the rewrite I didn't find it. Is it only using something like Discord?

We had a dedicated page for signing up on the v3 version of the site. Currently, yes, it's via our Discord server's MD@H channels.
