Re: Here's what I have learned about saving money on webhosting...
When you add up all the cost, you don't save any money at all.

For example, the electricity alone would probably at the same price or over as the web hosting solutions.

For example a typical desktop consumes about 100W of power. 1 year would be 8736 hours. A typical kilowatt hour is about a dime. So when you do the math it would be

100W * 8736 * (.1/1000wh) would be around $90 a year

There are many hosting solutions out there that cost a lot less. Plus many hosting companies provide an insane amount of disk storage, and bandwidth. For example surpass hosting offers 200 gb storage/ 2tb bandwidth for $70/year.

So for this and the examples above, it is cheaper and better for a team to use a hosting solution.
