Classic/Hosted Requirements for Playerworlds

This clarifies the purpose of the Hosted Tab, but this does not clarify my question to the extent that I had hoped.

Lets assume there is a server which:

• Has already spent a considerable amount of time on the PlayerWorlds tab previously.

• Has a significant known anticipation among the player base.

• Had agreed with the PWA Admin of the time, at the point of deciding to redevelop, that upon completion of its plans will be able to go straight back onto the PlayerWorlds tab.

• Is delaying such a promotion, until the level of completion has reached such a point where it is felt that not only will the server will pass the minimum requirements for merely reaching the PlayerWorlds tab, but be capable of sustaining a playercount long term.

• The development team feels a spell on the Hosted tab would act as a hindrance to the potential success following a promotion to the PlayerWorlds tab.

Therefore I ask whether it is necessary for such a server as assumed, or similar, to complete a spell on the Hosted tab prior to a promotion to the PlayerWorlds tab?
