Cost of running it myself on my $30/mo colocation server: $30

oh yeah, and 10$ a year domain fee

Contabo VPS: 4 Cores, 8GB RAM for 5€/mo. That should be able to handle the whole thing with plenty of room to scale. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I don't see what all those cloud providers that are so much more expensive bring to the table.

Damn, this seems so cheap. I didn't know about Contabo before. What's your experience with them?

They're great. I've had less downtime with them than DO and I have several VPSs there. I'd highly recommend them.

I'd also really be interested what kind of domain costs USD10 PER MONTH. With my registrar, even .co and .sh cost at most USD60 per year...

You should check out https://tld-list.com -- plenty of cheap domains / renewals. I really like Porkbun as a registrar, but there are others that are just as good.
