Love Jitsi but dont try to run this on AWS EC2 -- the network charges quickly add up. I had set Jitsi videobridge for my kid's friends and their friends -- the network charges quickly added up before I shut it down.

Networked applications like this really expose the real money drain in AWS and other cloud services, network charges particularly network egress rates.

Try a host that doesn't charge for bandwidth. Dedicated servers at Hetzner and/or OVH doesn't charge this imaginary fee so you can sleep well and just pay a static sum each month.

Precisely. Hetzner can provide a dedicated server with an Intel Core i7-2600, 16 GB RAM, and 2x3TB spinning disks for 29,00 €/month before tax with unlimited traffic via their server auction site for orphaned servers [0].

Other Hetzner and many OVH offerings have traffic caps, but these are in the region of ~10TB/month.
