I know it's a rude question, but it's been on my mind… I'm wondering roughly what I should be expecting to outlay when I finish my set-up? So I'm assuming it includes things like domain names, hosting for backups, email providers, VPN, etc. What's a good budget to set?

Well, I am paying less, but if you realistically calculate the costs of hardware over its lifetime, this is certainly not unrealistic for many homelabs.

Realistically thinking, my domain name, email, VPN and IPTV are the only things I'm gonna be paying for in the next few months. If that came to £200 a month, I'd die 😭
