I currently bought an old desktop from a friend that I use as my Homeserver.

I bought 3 HDDs for storage
I rent a VPS
I rented Proton to host mail for my domain, but switched to netcup groupware because that sucked.
Some domains
Electricity

Wow I thought it was way more.

One time costs: ~500€ Monthly costs: ~15€ Plus electricity, but I have solar. I assume it's about 150€/year
