man, i tried running a site off of a house server for a while this last spring XD had to stop after some flooding and a frazzled. but yeah, it is cheaper to run a site by far from home but the cost of creation is mostly dependent on how much you can do from scratch and if you can find people, getting a coder to work for free is the biggest part and cuts out the bulk of the expenses but that is still 10-50 a month to run the site named, however much you paid for the actual code you are using to make your site(i've seen it sell for around 200 dollars for something firmly established), the cost of your pixelist and if you go that route the cost of your materials(such as theme and bases and games) and of course the server-cost which, for imageheavy sites, isn't the same thing as your domain and can be managed by buying it from a company or setting it up yourself
i know because we are doing everything from scratch that i can run a basic forum-based site for 18 a month and it will only double when i implement a proper avatar system(it's currently a non-saving dropdown thing but it's small enough to not take up any notable space)
sorry if any of that is weird or confusing, i am tired XD
come chat with me!
