When my brother and I started, I think we split the costs, and it was about 600 a month. 300 in server payments, 200 in bandwidth / hosting, 100 in licensing.

We made some of that back, but not even close to that 600 for the first year. We eyed that as an investment in ourselves, and I worked a second job to pull this off, so I worked a 40hr, a 15hr, and a whenever hours job all at once.

It all depends on how much you want it.
