# Current
### [DNS Servers](https://nixnet.xyz/dns) & [Tor exits](https://nixnet.xyz/tor-nodes)
I have three servers running a Tor exit and a recursive DNS resolver each. These are $3.50/mo from [BuyVM](https://buyvm.net) ([Slice 1024](https://buyvm.net/kvm-dedicated-server-slices/))
**Total:** $10.50/mo
### [Status Page](https://status.nixnet.xyz)
The status page is running on [Slice 512](https://buyvm.net/kvm-dedicated-server-slices/) from [BuyVM](https://buyvm.net) and it costs from $2.00/mo
### Main
My main server running everything else is the [2000 G8 VPS](https://www.netcup.eu/vserver/vps.php) from [netcup GmbH](https://netcup.eu).
**Total:** ~$20.34/mo*
### Overall: ~$32.84/mo
# Future
Everything else will remain the same.
### Email
I would like to run my own email and offer it to users. However, this would be on a separate server to minimise risk of downtime when something goes wrong on another. I would likely run it on a [Slice 1024](https://buyvm.net/kvm-dedicated-server-slices/) in Luxembourg if I did.
**Total:** $3.50/mo
### [Postal](https://github.com/atech/postal)
Postal is an open source alternative to [Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com/), [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/), [Postmark](https://postmarkapp.com/), etc. It's a mail server meant for use by websites, applications, developers, etc. I want to host this for people so they can stop using the proprietary and intrusive solutions listed above. Postal would run on a separate server from the rest as well, [Slice 1024](https://buyvm.net/kvm-dedicated-server-slices/) in Luxembourg.
**Total:** 3.50/mo
### Overall: ~$40.18/mo
