⚡ 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
