Mon I am not complaining about the cost. But for me as a power user that is too much. I run my own mail server so I don't have to deal with other peoples limits or call and complain when their server goes down. I don't make any money from my servers, they are just for my joy and learning.
$199 is too much. I pay like $55 for my DSL (768/128) with 1 static IP and flex doesn't care what I do with it so long as it's legal. I never worry about my mail server and I don't complain that Sandi has over 1GB of mail on it.
