Do you have an idea how much it costs to maintain a server?
Yes, I have maintained many servers.
The electricity alone is usually between 20 and 50 US dollars a month depending on in which state your server is located.
Hive bot don't need more than 16 GB RAM, you can get 64 GB RAM servers for less than $50 per month (Hetzner).
Also keep in mind that the average salary in the US is 80 K a year.
Outsource the work to Asia of Eastern Europe. It's not like linux server admins and (probably) JS devs are hard to find. All the work can be done remote.
