I know it's a rude question, but it's been on my mind… I'm wondering roughly what I should be expecting to outlay when I finish my set-up? So I'm assuming it includes things like domain names, hosting for backups, email providers, VPN, etc. What's a good budget to set?

I run a pretty hefty home lab, so my costs are fairly high compared to some.

  • Electricity: $70/mo
  • Internet: $55/mo (1000x35)
  • Cloud backup: $20/mo
  • Web firewall/IDS/IPS: $8.30/mo ($99/yr)
  • Domain/email: $15/yr
  • VPS: $1/mo

Overall: $155/mo
