I pay about the same for a server from Hetzner - from the server auctions (https://www.hetzner.com/sb)

- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor (Cores 12)

- 64GB

- 2 x 2TB HDDs

That's cheap.

We really underestimate the costs of running in the cloud.

It's mostly marketing of aws employees and professionals that built their career around aws price and complexity.

A great idea to be honest, the market willing to overpay for server will probably be able to pay more to you.

I guess a lot of the cloud costs are due to not having to really manage anything yourself - you are essentially paying for a team of people to keep the 'server' up and running and make sure that things 'Just Work' (largely, anyway)
