     @bot Depending on the instance costs differ. Most instances seem to have fixed costs tho (buy Hardware once and pay for internet or rent a vps). So unless you are retarded enough to host an instance on AWS or a similar service you should have an infinite number oft posts included meaning monthly serverbill divided by number oft monthly posts equals cost per post. :astolfotea:

     @bot I just remembered that i did not take storage into account. Since you actually need more storage to host more posts, while all other hardware costs should stay equal. Meaning that if you have enough posts, they actually cost whatever you pay for the storage which the post uses.
