as for the software part MapServer probably is the best choice.
I have no personal experience with the TIGER data, but I think
they are adequate for this purpose - am I wrong here?

Free Software is also commercial software - e.g. in the case you decide
to pay a company for setting up the MapServer application.
If you like, you can even pay a monthly/yearly fee for updates,
maintenance etc.

In order to ensure sustainable availability of high quality free
software you should make sure that the company you contract is
actively supporting Free Software.

Best
