A server needs a CPU, memory and hard disk space.
So: An external hard disk alone will not suffice. Putting the files on it can work.

Uhh.. You cant just put the files onto the external HDD and then leave it sitting on your shelf no. It needs to be plugged into your PC and the file running.

"resume" no. You need to restart your server (if it was to continue to run) because the files cannot be accessed if you unplug your disk.
