How much?

Just wondering how much does it cost to run a forum, many sites I go on ask for donations but how much is an actually server?

This forum doesn't ask so I assume you get your money via adverts ect...

Re: How much?

Servers can be cheap or expensive depending on a few things.

You've got how powerful the server is. Then you've got things like what features they provide, how much disk space you are given and importantly how much bandwidth your site uses.

Bandwidth is a real killer, as is getting a fast and powerful server as active sites need a lot bandwidth and a lot of power in dealing with everyone.
