I don't want the service to rely upon any external APIs; I want everything to be able to operate quickly without making requests to any external server, and I want the service to have just as many records as HaveIBeenPwned.

Can anyone give me some advice or give me more information I would need to set up this service?
How much storage space and processing power do you think I would need to run the data breach service, and if I were to pay for cloud hosting, how much would it probably cost me?

Also, are there any hacking forums that I can find leaked database breaches from? I used to be active on BreachForums, but BreachForums has been seized like 4 times now, and I've just returned to the hacking community not that long ago.

If anyone can answer these questions, it would be a big help.

and how much processing power would I need to have

1. Data Requirements:
You'll need 10–20+ TB of breach data (emails, passwords, usernames, IPs etc.).
You can collect dumps from forums, old torrents (Collections 1-5), Telegram channels, etc.

2. No External APIs:
If you want it fully self-hosted and API-free, use:
- Meilisearch or Elasticsearch for fast full-text search
- PostgreSQL for user data and logs
- A simple backend (FastAPI, Flask, or Node.js)
- Local storage for raw data or object storage (S3-compatible)

3. Server Requirements:
For a service with billions of records:
- 128GB RAM minimum
- 16+ core CPU
- SSD/NVMe storage (high IOPS)
- 15–25TB of fast storage space

4. Hosting Costs:
- Cheap route (Hetzner, OVH): $250–$350/month for a solid dedicated server
- Cloud (AWS/GCP): Can go above $1,000/month, depending on traffic and storage

5. Pricing Model Suggestion:
- Free tier: limited daily searches (shows found here/there, this breach database etc)
- Basic tier: $10–$15/month (have a set limit of search)
- Pro tier: $30–$40/month (exports, filters, bulk search etc.)


My Suggestion : Host on VPS which use tor + clearnet. Mantain proper OPSEC. Clearnet can be taken down by LE anytime, Onion will be always active. Keep changing hosts and domains to bring it back. Backup 2x a day to not loose any data on seizures. My DM/Convo is always open.

If you would like to purchase the system, feel free to reach out.

MM & Contract will be used.
Also I am willing to show you how it works before buying.

Database and illegal information, is on you.
I can’t provide that.

So putting time & resources into this wouldn’t really make sense to me right now. First of all it would make me a target, and the other projects will also make me money & a lot less attention.

Then as wrote above by other users, I also researched the requirements to run this service, and I didn’t want that expense right now either, especially when there is already multiple competitors on the market, also noticed that leakedsources are preparing their 2.0 release.
That surprised me
