Example Cost Calculation
Server costs are an essential consideration for any business. Here's a realistic cost breakdown for a typical setup:
- Main server: €10 to €25 per month (including domain)
- Test server: €10 per month (including domain)
- Email service: €10 to €15 per month
Total estimated cost: €30 to €50 per month
This setup includes:
- A production server
- A test system mirroring the latest updates
- Version control (free for up to 5 users on GitHub)
- Reliable email service
Go4lage's efficient design allows for easy scaling with Docker Compose, potentially keeping costs stable even as you grow to serve multiple customers with separate instances.
