I'm just curious does anyone know how much the cost to operate the server for the one year?
I am not sure about "the" server but I have some of my own servers parked in a virginia data center and it's about $1720/month excluding the cost of the servers. That's for dual redundant power, crossovers, 1gb dedicated pipe, the rack and other security items. The servers are where you can spend some serious $. My newest Dell server was $21,000 so that's where the costs get crazy.
