Yeah, I'm not too familiar with hosting but the Fruit Farms apparently costs $18k/year to run and has both significantly more activity and more opposition.

That being said, Null makes a point of owning and managing the hardware himself, while the Big O was running on AWS from what I remember. Big cloud hosts are usually not very cost-efficient, from what I remember.

So good at remembering things that I forgot I'd already ended a sentence with 'from what I remember' when I got to the next sentence.

(know that feel; I do it multiple times in the same sentence sometimes!)

Yeah, my own hosting is much cheaper, but my projects are much smaller. Cloud providers are cheap for some things and expensive for others (usually the big costs come if you need more RAM and cpus), and some charge for bandwidth. So then you need protection if you have a lot of traffic. Cloudflare offers a good service on the free tier, but you can only use one domain or you have to pay for each additional one (I don't remember how much). AWS has a lot of services like db management, automatic service scaling to meet demand, and loadbalancing, that I've never used myself. I remember thinking the costs for those were crazy high but I haven't looked in years.
