Hi Sigrid,
This question has been raised before, and Dan
Nessett generally replied to it. It was he, in
fact, who reduced our monthly cost from over $500
to the present $320. Somewhere in the Forums,
there is a long discussion of this, with several
comment from Dan. Can anyone here point Sigrid
to that discussion? It may indeed be possible to
lower the cost. Certainly the people at
RationalWiki have been hammering us about this for a long time now....

Hi, I have a perhaps very stupid question: But
why do we have such insanely high monthly costs
for hosting? Do we sponsor another project with
free space? If you look for example at
http://www.arvixe.com/business_web_hosting,
their business plans start at USD 22, which I
think should be more than enough. (Ok, I
ignored, that I don't know, what special
requirements we have, but I doubt that it is
necessary to pay over USD 300 for hosting.) Do
we have our own dedicated server? Do we really
need that (if we have)? I am willing to continue
donating for hosting, but looking at this
pricing here, my donation I gave this month
would have been enough for two months of the
cheaper version of the business plan from
Arvixe. So, I'd really like to hear your
thoughts and reasoning for those high hosting
costs. Sigrid On 30/01/2013, Anthony Sebastian
