Topic: BTCPay Server Hosting. How much would you pay? (Read 229 times)
I use Lunanode and pay less than $8 per month. I highly recommend it.
You are going to want more then 2GB ram and 100GB storage.

For the sake of speed, compatibility and ease of installation it is recommended that you use an Intel/AMD based computer with a minimum of 4Gb RAM and a 500 Gb hard drive.
I'm not sure where the 500 GB storage figure comes from. BTCpay isn't running a full node and I couldn't find any place in the documentation where this number is cited.
Most program installations would use at most a few GB of space so it's difficult for me to envisage a situation where a program like BTCpay would utilize 500GB all at once.
It's under the hardware deployment section: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/HardwareDeployment/
Do you need it?
Not sure, you could probably get away with less, but if you are deploying it on your own hardware or your a VM on your own hardware that is what they are recommending.
Stay safe.

IMO, you might be able to sell “support and hand holding” including setup on your customers equipment or cloud account. You could charge a reduced price for the first few hours of help and a higher rate after that, including some type of on-call service that provides up to a predetermined amount of help each month.
The average price for a VPS with 2 Gb Ram and 100 Gb of storage, the minimal recommended.
But providing a solution ready to go means an additional cost depending on what it is exactly, just the installation or maintenance is included in?
In the first case, I think it's more appropriate to charge a one-time fee (Idk how much it depends on how many time it takes but I doubt people work for 1 buck per hour. Perhaps $20) and with the maintenance included people could add an additional $8-$10
VPS (~$5 to $10) + maintenance (~$8 to $10)= $13 to $20

can you send tutorial to build it secure? thanks
You should follow their guide depending on your hardware choice and other requirements.

So, let me start out with the statement that there is no way in hell you should be paying me or anyone to host a BTCPay server for your e-commerce site.
Anyone with $150 to put together a PC can do it. But there are bandwidth concerns, security concerns, etc. so I do understand wanting it elsewhere.
There are also a lot of how to guides on how to do it. It's not that tough if you can follow instructions.
There are also a lot of places that will host it for free. I did for a while till I figured out how much hand-holding and support people who don't pay you want. So that died quick.
But, if I was to offer a ready to go service how much would you be willing to pay per month?
Just trying to get a feel if it is worth it.
Thanks,
Dave
