How much does it cost to host your own Peertube instance? (lemmy.world)

Basically as the title asks. It looks like the .wtf instance is down again, and I'm starting to think more seriously about hosting my own instance. I imagine I'd have to pay for the domain name, and for a server to host it, but are there any Peertube instance hosters that can confirm if there are other costs involved?

Edit: Looks like the .wtf instance is back up, so thanks to the admin for that! However I'd still take any advice I can get on setting up an instance in case it's needed

Realistically probably less than 20 a month for a good cloud provided option.

With your own hardware, I ran mine for less than 1$ a month with an existing domain and hardware around the house. You dont need much other than storage. For single user probably next to nothing. For family and friends a bit more.
