What are the expected costs of running a server?
I'm not sure if this question should go here or in marketplace, putting it here first since this doesn't feel quite right in marketplace since I'm not trying to buy/sell anything at the moment.
I was wondering what the costs would be for someone just getting into hosting.
I'd imagine the 2 main costs would be
- an upfront financial investment in getting the hardware for a server, like a physical box to play on
- a monthly upkeep cost coming from things for keeping the server online
I was wondering what sort of costs those might be, like what I should expect if I'm coming into this sorta blind. The group I play with is fairly small, usually under 15 players max, but it is usually modded, so I'm not even 100% sure how good of a box I would need.

Is Playfab any good for Minecraft Server Hosting?
Hey all, I've been looking into Minecraft hosting recently, I'm fairly new to the whole thing, and I was wondering if any Azure services would be useful for hosting a Minecraft server?
I'm especially looking at PlayFab, it sounds like it's new and it's using Minecraft gameplay/imagery in some locations to advertise, so I was wondering if it was any good?
The groups of people I play with aren't large, usually maybe 15 people max (and that's with me overestimating to be safe), however I'm hoping modded minecraft can be on the table.
Beyond that I'm really new to this, like, started googling stuff today new, so I apologize if I sound like I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm only even looking at Azure solutions at all bc I work in IT and use Azure services at work fairly often, and I'm hoping learning how to do it in Azure will also help me learn Azure better overall.
