How much is it costing per month to run the Index?

Is most of the cost storage or bandwidth?

@StevenB If we’re talking about servers, bandwidth and CloudFlare costs it’s altogether about $900 currently. I’ve been thinking about this topic the last few days actually.

@adam @StevenB No, I didn't add that. I think that's $150/mth.

@dave @StevenB There's more overhead like tax prep and legal.

But these are fixed costs.

And lots of fees from PayPal and banks.

Its basically a business, without payroll.

@adam @dave

I was more thinking because there's people thinking nostr will be something they can use for some sort of podcast index, but I'm not sure they realize it costs to store and serve that much data.
