I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

    Yearly:

    • ~80€ for 6 domains (using all of them)
    • 125€ electricity (480kWh, 0,26€/kWh)
    • 540€ VPSes (joint projects where other admins have access, not entirely paid by myself though, still planning to migrate one of them into homelab)

    Not counting ISP since we have that anyways.

        Two are fedi instances, one is “official (related to my legal name)” and mostly used for email, one for personal selfhosted stuff I want to access from outside without vpn (like this Lemmy instance), one used to be a local concert calendar which I sunset so it’s not needed anymore. Currently forgot the sixth one lol

        I have also like quite some domains.

        One just firstnamelastname to have it One for homelabbing One for business One, because I thoght firstname@lastname.email was a cool idea. Now all my accounts run through it and I cannot change it anymore :/ One for my old startup, where I just like the name to much One for another old business, but my mailserver runs through that domain, and it is too much of a bother to change that 😅

        So, remember folks: don’t buy too many domains, it becomes a liability.
