!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

A small vps should cost no more than $10/mo, and should be enough to run a text-based site (with compression) reasonably well. Obviously the gotcha will be bandwidth, but you could subsidize that with donations.

I'm accounting for a domain name and sufficient bandwidth.

I figure 10 TB per month should be enough.

The $500 is a conservative estimate.

You could try hosting it at home on an old laptop and see how it goes

That's 100% more bandwidth than not doing it at all
