How much do you spend each month on hosting?
As the title said, how much do you spend each month on VPS / Dedicated / Domain for personal use?
I just did some maths to find out how much I actually spent and the number is quite high, I never noticed I idled that much. I may need to cut down some soon (or if providers can cut down the price LOL), especially when 70% or more of that is idling, but most of them are just too good to let go

So you won't tell us?
(I'm a little afraid to add up my monthly expenses!)
Well, it is about $90 per month...
I don't really want to think about that lol... the 10-20 is what I chose because that's what my "personal" budget is but the reality is probably higher.
How can you guys keep the budget so low Just a single dedi alone is probably gonna higher than that...
I have to blame @HostDoc because that's the Top 3 companies that I spend my money on...
most spendings I do are somehow business related. at least that's what I tell myself...
however, @Nekki already put his vote in LOL :-P
I wish I can make use of them to make money
How do you know Nekki voted?
You should cancel some of them, I keep 2 dedicated servers idle more than 1 year then I think with that amount of money, I can buy any dedicated server I want in short term 😂😂😂
Around $90 monthly
Are you shocked by my spending or you spent that amount too?
Current spend is about ~325EUR/Mo. Should be able to cut down to ~220EUR/Mo by Feb 2020, once I cancel a couple of old dedicated servers and consolidate to a single beefy server with Hetzner.
actual use: $50
Idling: I need invoice notice to see what I have.
~$25
too much ?
71 euro/month
I spend that amount. A dedi eats 60% of it.
"Business" but not so real.
11 Eur/m Netcup VPS + 13 Eur / yr Domain.
who else should be voting for >$250 monthly for personal use ?? 😂
Im at a little over $250. Scary. Good going buddy, now I need to cancel some to get to around $100
Time to establish a LET anonymous, so we can all get the help we need? (Yes, more VMs).
While it's true that @Nekki said more than once in the past that he spent more than £200 monthly on his servers, I doubt that he voted here. It's probably just someone who is trolling.
A few months back I have cut down on costs so right now I am only paying for my domain 6€/year and Hostmantis Reseller 25GB 25€/year. Throw in a SmallWeb @Mic-hael for 3GBP smth a year. All in all, if divided into monthly cost it comes to probably less than ~4€/month.
I do have MyW Shared 2GB and Reseller 50GB Lifetime, so no more fees here. Thanks @MikePT
I also have "sponsored/free" Shared Hosting with Inception Hosting which is also stable. Thanks @AnthonySmith
No VPS atm. If I need any, I use m 20$ Lunanode credit I won in a giveaway.
Does this include idling power?
I need a life. Did my math. I seriously need a life.
About $80. A Plex server takes up most of my budget
Around £250 a month ouch.... I need help....
83 pence.
Edit: with domains, probably about £1.50
Domain Renewal - 25$ + 10$ + 8$ - 42$/yr (personal use)
Vps (storage + primary) - 35$ + 16$ + 18$ - 69$/yr ( idlying + personal use)
Mail - 10$/yr
Total - (42+69 + 10)/12 - 10.1$/month.
Shit that seems too much for idling
I try to hold mine to $100a month. I have a server with 32 IPs for $77 a month, a Kimsufi I5 for $11 a month and an Letbox 3tb backup server for $7 a month. Oh and a Digital Ocean vps for $5.
Hosting - About 110.
Domains - About 70.
Total = (110 + 70)/12 = About $15/month.
Hosting is around £15 at the moment.
Domains are around £16 (after a few lapse soon).
So around £31 a month - in US dollars right now - $40.73.
Hoping to make use of subdomains later to get rid of more domains and reduce costs.
