Couple thousands per server usually for good hardware. And for a site like Parler, you need dozens of servers, firewalls, network equipment, not to mention the software, licensing, and personnel to configure and support it. Not cheap.
Thats why many use hosting solutions. Because its all packaged together and maintained and supported by another company.
But if you simply want something personal to host, you can have a simple forum hosted on a tiny linux box for a few hundred. You'd have to set it up yourself and load software and configure it. Lot of people go that route if you want something private.
I’ve got some cash, but no expertise. How would one go about buying / setting up a server for Patriots? How much are we talking?

Is anyone starting a conservative host I can invest IRL? I didn’t storm the capitol, this is where I make my impact.
