Virtual private Servers are incredibly common amongst online marketers looking to run bots, host websites, manage accounts, etc for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I have been wondering just how much it's actually costing me to run a VPS, so I decided to do some calculation.
To begin with, I am going to be looking at these 5 BHW VPS providers:
So, imagine that instead of paying $116.64 per GB of RAM, per year, let's imagine we used our own dedicated machines.
I quickly created this 4 Core, 32 GB Ram, 500GB SSD that costs a total of $995.30 or £796.43, which equates to $31 per GB of RAM, one-time fee.
Now we need to talk about power. Assuming that the 650w PSU is under an average load of 600w, that will cost approximately £807.85/ $1009.51 per year (I calculated this using this site. 600w x 8760 hours) which equates to $31.5 per GB per year on Power.
Ok. So far we have calculated the cost of a VPS, which is around $10 per month, or $120 per year per GB.
The one-time fee of buying the computer I listed is around $31 per GB, which is not including the $31.5/year/GB cost of powering this.
So, after year one you are saving $57.5 for every GB, and after year 3 you are saving $234.5
Now, let's go one step further and imagine you rent out the rest of your computer to earn a little money. Say you would like to use 16GB of RAM for yourself and would like to rent out four lots of VPSs for $38.88 (9.72 x 4) per month, netting you $155 a month or $1866 per year, which is already a return on your investment.
I should mention that I did not include part depreciation/ break down in my costs, however, most (if not all) of these parts come with a good warranty. I also did not mention Internet/ Proxy cost here, but I am assuming you have that any way to connect to your VPS
Long story short:
Please note this is nothing factual, I did some rough and quick calculations
