Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya’ll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

    The admin of sopuli.xyz said in his FAQ that donations are unnecessary atm, as his expenses total about 12 euros a month.

    Sopuli has a bit under 2000 accounts, I think, and is running on a Hetzner VPS located in Finland.

    I don’t have an answer but I’m also quite interested to find out what kind of server specs are we talking to get off the ground? Would love to hear from someone that has recently started their own…
