Well its depnd what you purchase
First you need Domain and for video host you need video host script as well
after that you will go to servers most important thing is Money you should have 1 to 3k$ for run peacefully for basic starter plan

how about using bunny.net would that cost a lot more?

bunny.net

Like 10x the price you would need to pay as per self host. Its quite simple math. You will not get lower than 2-5k$ and basically these costs will go way higher if you end up needing more than 10G uplink as u gonna need to optimize server for streaming so no troughput chokes are there : )

They're not using bunny, they abuse cloudflare with hls segments as jpg but it will end once cloudflare finds it out, they will just junk their entire account.

just like it ended with me, but self host can cost 600-1200 for such size, 10G for 400, storage 160TB for 160$ or maybe 200 max if you want to abuse clownflare for streaming
