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
I have no idea about minimum requirements to get off the ground, but lemmy.ml mods recently made this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1234235 in wich they state they use a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram.
So 30€/month for the biggest instance basically. That’s cheap, nice.
