Your rank depends on how much all the votes for you are worth in VEST. The more VESTS the higher the ranking. The VEST worth for each vote is based on how much HP the voter has.
Do you run a hosted server or do you have a personal one running 2x7?
Is it hard to set up and maintain?
It's a hosted server. We have power outages happening regularly here so I can't run a personal one. Setting up could be a bit daunting at first. But you have easy option such as the Hive node-in-a-box offered by @privex, it's a VPS that comes already setup for Hive witness, you just need to configure it for your account.
