It depends on the website and what you are trying to achieve :) I run https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ with a friend; it takes a lot of her time to code it, and make sure it is working efficiently, and can scale during big outages on the net. Plus, expand it to offer more data on where outages are happening and what they are. She is a senior dev ops so it needs to be worth her time. I spend my time building out new sites to check, adding FAQ items, and generally all odds and ends to keep it going. My time isn't cheap either. I run https://shepherd.com/ https://shepherd.com/ which is a new site trying to help readers explore and discover books while helping authors connect with new readers. It is not cheap to build, the backend is Django/Python and custom, so I have an amazing part-time freelance developer I work with, a fantastic designer I work with part-time, a part-time editor to do editing with authors on each submission, a full-time person to help me with emails and keep on track of things, and several people helping with data on the books. Does that help illustrate?
