I used to have a root server for my pet projects, but honestly, that doesn't make sense. I'm not running a high traffic, compute intense SaaS on my machines. It's just a static website and some projects. I'm down to monthly costs of 24€, which includes a storage box of 1 TB to store all my data.
Static website I like the combo of Git(Hub,Lab) Pages and Cloudflare fronting it for SSL/domain name. Nice and free, and if I want to move elsewhere it's also simple enough.
You must have great and ultrareliable service. My monthly cost is just over $8 and I have one 1TB storage and one 2TB storage besides three little machines.
