dan@upvote.au 1 day agoI’m running mine on a ~$30/year VPS. It’s a small instance (just me) but it federates with all the major instances which means it still does a bunch of work (since it has to handle incoming posts and comments from federated servers).
For a medium-sized instance, I imagine you could get pretty far with a single <$100/month dedicated server from Hetzner or a similar provider.

That seems quite cheap, was it a discount? I can’t find a 33$ yearly plan on their website

Yeah, a Black Friday sale.
They do have some deals always available, but the specs aren’t as good as the Black Friday ones: greencloudvps.com/billing/store/budget-kvm-sale
RackNerd also have some deals that are always available on their site. .
