Depends on the opsec of the hacker involved. C2 servers require power and internet connection to run. If the hacker is smart, power and internet will not have their actual name and address listed. Internet will be obfuscated so backtracing the IP isn't as easy to do, all files, data and comms will be encrypted and metadata scrubbed. This would be a more ideal set up for a C2 server. 

But you've got to think about that too. How will you set up power? How will you set up internet? You need to gain power and internet in a way that is unnoticeable (as much as possible anyways) and does not require identification.

If you do plan on doing something like this (which I do not recommend for aforementioned legal reasons), then you need to do some deep research into this, especially into those who were arrested.
