What counts as the current cost of my hosting setup?

Two things: what you pay for the server/hosting itself each month, and the hours your team spends patching, monitoring, and keeping it running. This calculator adds both into one annual number.

How is the savings range calculated?

It's a typical percentage reduction in total hosting cost after moving to right-sized, managed cloud hosting, based on what your setup runs on today — an on-prem server has the most to gain, an already-cloud-but-oversized setup the least.

Why a range instead of one number?

Because the real number depends on your specific traffic, data, and compliance needs — a single fake-precise figure would be dishonest. A free system review gives you the real number for your setup.

What’s it running on today

How it’s calculated: (hosting cost + admin hours × hourly cost) × 12, then a typical savings range for moving to right-sized, managed cloud hosting.

Current hosting setup costs roughly

$6,120/year

$3,600 hosting/hardware + $2,520 admin time.

Right-sized, managed cloud hosting typically saves $2,448–$3,672 a year for this setup (hardware refresh + power + admin time all go away).
