    Could you explain how it’s pennies, rather than over $100 a year for the domain and the server?

      Server is “free” in that it can run on the computer you already have, with the Internet connection you already have. Domain registration is fairly cheap, I last paid $65 for 5 years. I haven’t shopped around in a while so there could be cheaper options. SSL cert can be had for free though you will have to renew it every 3 months, but that can often be automated…
