      Yes but no, companies don’t buy servers anymore typical, they use services like AWS for scalability which charge an absolute fortune.

        You are correct with a service like aws, But of your talking needs for a project like Linode, digital ocean could fit, as this would only need For older titles compute and storage.

        Can’t charge for service because that would lead to DMCA suits.

        There are enough foss our there where except for the server cost would be minimal to maintain
