Expected ongoing costs of running self hosted :)

Sharetribe Go Community Edition
1

Hello guys! I am planning to run a self hosted Sharetribe due to Stripe not being available in my region.

I am estimating the operating costs that needs to be set for a budget, I am currently bootstrapping and every penny matters.

DigitalOceon server - 30$+/per month
How do I calculate the expected upgrade in server as my user base increases?

E-mail & Phone verification (Sendgrid & Twilio)
I am currently multiplying the number of new users with their fixed rate

Am I missing something that needs to be considered?

Thank you!

Hi @Karim_Tarakji, and good to hear about your plans!

I don’t have a definitive answer to share but you can maybe have a look at https://www.sharetribe.com/community/t/how-much-do-you-pay-to-host-your-sharetribe-go-open-source-marketplace/1995 and http://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/2255

Hopefully this helps a bit!

@Karim_Tarakji I would suggest you to use Lightsail instead of digital ocean. Its far better than digital ocean and price of its reasonable instance is 10$/mo0nth.

If you need my help to configure do let me know I am 24/7 available.
