.info is a $1.99 a year expense, I'm guessing they are on a shared server which could be under $9 a month. Not allot of people use Bitcoins so server traffic is probably low atm. I have unlimited bandwidth on a shared account for $100 a year. I'm assuming they have something similar


LOL, I must be crazy buying server hardware for between $5,000 and $10,000 per server and renting cabinets in the datacenter for colocation when I can get it unlimited for $9 per month.

It costs 1000 Euro per month per cabinet in some datacenters (more in some, less in others) and that generally doesn't include any bandwidth which is a Euro or two per Mbps if you buy quite a lot of it - think of a 1 year commit of 500-1000 Mbps with dual Gbps fibre connections into your switches which you also have to buy at your own cost billed at 95% usage.

The $9 per month VPS sellers are a stain on the ISP industry.
