Ask HN: Is server cost of your current startup/side-project affordable?

That sounds expensive to me for a server unless you are spending a massive amount on bandwidth or storage or something. A dedicated server on Hetzner costs around 50$ a month for 32 GB DDR4, gigabit with 30 terabytes a month (before throttle), and 4TB of drives.

I think you haven't given us enough information. What is included in this server cost? Is it managed? How many servers are we talking about? What kind of specs do they have?

Sounds like you're a non-technical founder and feel forced to trust your technical people.

In any ordinary business where your running costs were 20% of revenue you'd think you were making out like a bandit.

If you were spending $10k a month to make $2k in revenue you'd have a problem.

What are you serving that needs 2k a month of server resources?
