Well, depends on the month 😅. Right now my cost is up because I'm hosting a valheim server.

I've got one domain which costs me about 10$ a year.

I have 4 servers costing me about 35$ a month (3 servers * 5$ + 1 server * 20$). I don't pay for additional services like databases since I don't need backups, etc for side projects. I've deployed my own Kubernetes cluster using k3s. I only use OSS variants of software I need such as grafana, postgres, and so on.

I also have on-demand VMs for my CI server which I had set up incorrectly a few months back. Ended up getting a 170$ bill.
