How much does it cost to run an instance? (lemmy.ml)

Just curious how much it would cost to run an instance? Maybe with 1,000-10,000 users? Also are there any hosts that ya'll recommend? I am most familiar with Digital Ocean but DO may not be the best area to host an instance.

Apologizes if this is the wrong community to post this in. I am not sure where to find any info on pricing estimates

I have no idea about minimum requirements to get off the ground, but lemmy.ml mods recently made this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1234235 in wich they state they use a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram.

One of the devs comments in that thread specifically notes the price. It’s 60 euros a month for the dedicated server this is running on. https://lemmy.ml/comment/577040

Server pricing isn’t linear though so smaller instances wouldn’t necessarily be proportionally smaller in price.
