LOL, your sources are wrong.
Clarification!
This site cost $100/monthly, aka $1200/yearly, just for the Colo Server. This does not include colo maintenance or the administrative services provided Lance and myself. Not that Lance or I ever have or will make a dime, nor did MMars when he hosted it on his T1.
That was half what we were paying before.
I've been thru the details before, it's a great price considering the 100% uptime the last year and recockulous bandwidth.
PM me if you have any other question or you care to release you sources on our costs.
