BenCurry Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 Hi, We are currently on the IPS cloud plan and spending 330 USD per month. Last month we had 1.9 million page views and 130 Average user count. We also pay for Amazon AWS media hosting that comes in at between 20-30 per month. Next year I want to look into options on self hosting and seeing what can be saved on the running costs. Is anyone running a similar sized forum and can give me an idea of what the self hosted route may cost. Or any other advice on this? Thanks in advance.

Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) You really want to be looking at a dedicated server rather than a VPS, If you do go with a VPS try to get a KVM vps as they are far superior and dont suffer with overselling resources. Our dedicated was £115 UK GBP a month and has the following spec Edited December 18, 2021 by Muddy Boots
