What does server owners earn

[Pastry]

Hey guys I just want to know how much people that has or had servers earned per month and if you are even interested in sharing your story I would gladly hear it.​

Depends on your player base more than anything.

When when I first started my server I put in £200 in the first month. In the first month of opening I got £300 back, and the 2nd month I got £300.

where did you put those 200£ like into host, into advertising or into custom plugins? because I'm looking to start my own server

This is a stupid question. Obviously, if your server has a decent player base of 100+ you can easily make $1000/mo

100+???!?!!?!?! You see i have this question since where I live in lithuania people don't even have paypal they are paying trought sms, I know a server owner that has 150 players and he did not earn 100$ a month

I spent the £200 on may things such as premium plugins, builds, the website.

The money I got through donations was spent on advertising

So if I have all the plugins I would need and all the builds and the host i can start with this ?

Yes of course

Do you have ideas of what server should i do?[DOUBLEPOST=1495438883][/DOUBLEPOST]

one of my old servers called CoreHQ
I earned 1.2k it was one of the most CosmicPVP Rip off servers.
But i had no use for the money because the playerbase was a constant of 30 - 90, players still donated I DONT KNOW WHY, i didnt spent a single penny on advertisements and i just keep getting players somehow, the server wasnt really lagging at all so i spent it on CS:GO lol.


for my lil project called hclands
i just made like $80 from a 20 - 40 player base lol it was an hcf server

I have a lithuanian server(people not rich) I got 2$ in donations : /

I don't think it's stupid at all, it will give OP a rough idea of various figures. Where'd you pull out those numbers from? I know the guy renting this out earns way more than that and his PB is lower.

I've spent $6000 so far on my network. It hasn't released yet. but I will be sure to let you guys know how much I make within the first month.

thanks

If you're spending over 2k on your server/network initially, you're doing something wrong.

I've spent 10$ on my server on opening ... : / this is 8gb ram host
