Also 1 year of rental at 3-4$/mo = you have spent the same price as buying and owning one.
- karakanb 6y agoThat is true indeed, but there's a cost for having your instance, proper cases, cooling the instances down, securing them, ensuring proper networking and more, pretty much the same stuff as a regular cloud, that's why I was wondering if people would be interested. For the yes part, what would be the monthly price you'd be willing to pay?
- josephernest 6y agoYou're right, all these aspects are important. If you add all these costs, such as electricty cost (3W * 24hr * 31day / 1000 * 0.15$/kwh ~ 0.33$/mo), it's hard to be both profitable and competitive. I'd pay maybe 2 or 2.50$ / mo, but I'm probably not a good example because I like running my own RPi at home and be able to tune things. Nice project anyway, good luck for staring your service!
