Well, the thing is, many companies lease the server along with the
bandwidth from a co-lo host. So it's all one monthly or yearly payment that
guarantees parts will be replaced if they fail, the server will be properly
managed, backups are done, there will be enough bandwidth, etc; uptime is
guaranteed. In that case, there are no one-time costs, it's all a recurring
cost.
