Thanks for your support!

Initially, we’re talking about:

  1. One big server, along the lines of 8 cores, 32G of RAM, and a fast
     4T drive (around 4–5k€ maybe?).

  2. Hosting, which needs to be figured out more precisely, but could be
     in the 0–2k€ range per year depending on what we choose.

That’s the back-of-the-envelope calculation.

What do people think?
