1- $350 / month is the cost for a very very good server. You don't need that much. Not from the start at least. You can start with just $10 a month for a decent server.
Then you can expend to better, but by then, you should already be profitable.
2- 5 developers for 1 month are less productive than 1 for 5 months. Keep that in mind. I would still recommand to hire at least 2 developers so that they can criticize each other/help each other out.
3- None of what you give is a one-time service. SSL Certificates are free (look at Let's encrypt for example). Moreover, even if you paid for it, it would probably not be a one-time fee since you need to renew it from time to time. DDOS protection is not a one-time fee service neither, usually it comes at an extra price with the dedicated server. Finally, if you want to do security audits, it should be done at every major code change otherwise better do none.

I don't mean to be mean to your project. If I took the time to write this, it's only because I think it's for the better for you (really).
Good luck.

Hello Xavier,

Let me further explain to you:
1-The cost for the dedicated server is nothing compared to the Windows Server and SQL Server license cost. and indeed I will start with a low-cost server (50$) during the development time. then I will start with a high dedicated server and it's because I don't intend to start small as you said and move forward. "I WANNA START BIG".
2- The developers required will be as follow (2 ASP.NET MVC, 2 Front-End, MS-Server and MS-SQL Admin)
3- SSL Certificate can be bought one-time for 3 years, DDoS protection varies starting from 25$/mon, most site security scanning subscriptions are given by time(yearly) not 'per scan'.

I'm open for any constructive criticism and I'm glad for your opinions and hope I've clarified your points.

Lastly, you may need to check this goo .gl/HYNEC3

Thanks,

I don't have money for investment. Do you need a developer for your team? I am a full stack dev .net and javascript with about ten years experience. I am readly interested in gambling industry and have some ideas on this. Can I join your team as a dev?
