Small Data Center Setup Cost (Single PC Server)

If you want to start your hosting business or server setup at a small level, it is possible to begin with just one PC server. Here is the breakdown of its maintenance and monthly costs.

⚡ Electricity & Power Backup Cost

A single PC server consumes very little power. With a UPS backup, your server can keep running for a short time even during power cuts.

  • Monthly Electricity Bill: ₹1,000 – ₹1,500
  • UPS Backup (optional one-time): ₹5,000 – ₹15,000

🌐 Internet Cost

A stable broadband connection is required for a server. For a single PC setup, a leased line is not mandatory.

  • Broadband Plan (50–100 Mbps): ₹500 – ₹1,000 per month
  • Static IP (optional): ₹200 – ₹500 per month

🛠 Maintenance Cost

Since there is only one PC, maintenance cost remains very low. You only need to monitor hardware health and keep software updated.

  • Basic AMC (optional): ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 per year
  • Occasional part replacement (HDD/SSD/RAM): ₹5,000 – ₹10,000 yearly

🧾 Software License Cost

If you use Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux), it is completely free. However, if you choose premium software like cPanel or LiteSpeed, extra costs will apply.

  • Linux OS: Free
  • cPanel/WHM (Mandatory): ₹12,000 per year
  • Imunify 360 (Optional): ₹12,000 per year
  • Cloud Linux (Optional): ₹15,000 per year
  • WHM Reseller (Optional): ₹8,000 per year

👨‍💻 Manpower / Technical Support

For a single PC server, dedicated staff is not required. You can manage it yourself. Still, you may occasionally need professional support.

  • Self-managed: ₹0 extra
  • Part-time admin support: ₹5,000 – ₹10,000 yearly

💰 Estimated Monthly Running Cost

Electricity + Internet ≈ ₹1,500 – ₹2,000 per month

Maintenance + Occasional Support ≈ ₹500 – ₹1,000 per month

👉 Total Monthly Cost: ₹2,000 – ₹3,000 only
