our burn
What it actually costs us.
Self-hosting on our own hardware means no per-server rental — the real bill is mostly just power.
| Item | Est / mo | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity | ~$39 | running our self-hosted hardware 24/7 — ~340W avg, ~245 kWh/mo |
| Domain | ~$1 | voxelbox.org registration, spread monthly |
| Cloudflare | $0 | free tier — DNS, CDN, and SSL |
| Game servers | $0 | all self-hosted — no rented slots |
| Panel software | $0 | Calagopus game panel, open-source |
| Total | ~$40 / mo | power is ~95% of it; everything else is rounding |

All figures are rough estimates — the point is transparency, not an exact balance sheet. The real number moves with power prices and load. Based on typical pricing from managed game hosts (Shockbyte / GPORTAL / Nitrado-tier).
