Ah, but your hardware is most definitely not free. and even if bought used, and your power is literally completely free, it will likely fail or be too obsolete before any actual savings occur.
I’m not saying don’t self host, just don’t think you’ll save any money doing it.

I have always done self hosting. You don’t need to most new hardware. And if you enjoy it oo it is a win win. For me I host over 60 services my self. For me and family and some friends.
