Budget for a skyblock server

[cmd]

hi there so being the bored money-wasting fuck that I am I decided to go find out how much money i'd need to advertise and host a skyblock server, so if you have the answer hit me the fuck up

You can get by with just a couple of dollars in hosting as you only need 4 GB's for starting out.

For advertising, I would suggest starting out with every free option you can find. Once you have at least 10 players on during peak hours you can then spend $100+ on smaller YouTubers.

That alone should get you a decent player base for a few months.

what i did was hire tons of small yters for free and paid a few and for only 6$ i was able to get 15-10 players on peak hours
normally 5-10
i bought 2GB got $2 w/ pebble host
some IP for custom domain for like 3$
and used a free domain

What would you consider a decent player base?

Alright,

(all prices are estimates, may vary)
Skyblock Server Setup (Non Exclusive $15 | Exclusive $50) Needed
4GB Hosting ($6/monthly) https://aquatis.host/minecraft-hosting/ Needed
XenForo License ($140) Recommended or just crack like 99% of servers do
Server Logo ($35) Recommended
Server Banner ($20) Recommended
Advertisements (This really varies).

I'd recommend taking a look at

I know this is more then what you requested, but if you're gonna go, might as well go all in.

Very interesting.

I would consider anything from 15-25 players during peak hours a decent player base.

Depends on how high quality you want your server to be, using free builds and unprofessional domains won't give your server much of an appeal.

If you're still watching this thread I'll point out another thing, throwing money at a server won't make it successful, be prepared to put in a lot of work for very little return, manage how you spend money effectively, Purchasing a domain (eg; 'arduamc.net') is a good use of money, spending $70 on hosting before you've even started is a bad investment. Do your research and work out what is necessary and what isn't, cheers.
