That sounds about right for a service I ran about 5 years ago. I was paying about $300/month for a dedicated server (32-core, 64 gigs ram, 1gigabit dedicated line almost always saturated, etc… etc…) and was wondering if I could do it cheaper and started looking into AWS and I came up to between $15000 - $20000 / month.
Ever since then I can’t comprehend why anyone would ever use such a service, it is practically trivial to set up your own servers if you have even an inkling of what you are doing (I may be biased, I’ve been running a multitude of my own servers for 2 decades now), even spread around the globe…
