just FYI my monthly costs for running a nostr relay are around $70 CAD (about 54 USD)
I'm assuming it's in a colo but is that for a virtual machine or bare metal?
Just sticking your own server in a colo could be pretty cheap but I'm looking to provide the hardware and even hardware monitoring, plus a couple hard drive replacements per year.

Its running in a virtual machine in DigitalOcean. I'm also running other nostr services in it. For nostr relay the storage requirements are pretty low for the time being. I'll get back to you with how much my relay is consuming.
