Its not recommend to run on home computer but, it varies alot depending on your connection speed probably only a few if any at all.

i dont recomend it also, just incase some ass wanted to DDOS you, youll be in trouble in your network provider. i might be wrong.

It depends on your PC specs, but the biggest issue will be your internet connection.
Unless you've got a really fast fiber connection.

 

But still, internet provider have big differences between private consumer and business connections.

So they don't care much about connection issues for private households.

I work part time as a technician (in switzerland which offers high quality services) for the swiss main carrier.
You might experience short disconnections over time, or even downtimes over several hours up to days.

 

 

While business connections have always high priority.

So using a proper server which has been built for such services, including having a proper internet connection is key to offer your players a stable and lagfree service.
 

It's not just about a fast internet connection, but also about having a proper backbone.

If you're actualy planning to go online with an actual project while having >20 players and offering a "standard" server with a decent ~great connection.
Forget about this right away.

 

 

 

 

The location of the host is also important depending on which players you're aiming for.
If you want to create a server just for your buds, sure, use your home PC.

Aiming for a specific country:
Make sure the host is located in that country

Aiming for the entire world:
Search for a proper hoster with a huge backbone which got access to all main carriers around the world.

 

 

 

In the end it depends on yourself.
You can also host worldwide using just your home pc.
But people from other countries may have a really hard time with lag,
depending on everything mentioned above.

 

 

 

 

About your actual question "how many"

It's hard to tell.
The only thing you might be able to check is:
Calculate how much bandwith per player is required and then compare it to your connection speed.

That might give you a very rough statistic of what could be possible.
But it's still very innacurate.
