What amount is "substantial?" The forum is at eboundhost.com from what I can gather. Are we using a dedicated server or a VPS? If we are, than you're looking at from $45 to $100 a month. However, I don't know why you'd want a that kind of power since a well load-balanced shared server for $10 a month should suffice.
I would not think that this forum would use more than 5 to 10 GB of bandwidth (transfer) a day but I could be wrong on that one. Even if it uses 100 GB a day the charges should not be high. Ebound gives you 3,000 GB a month. (Hell of a good deal!)
I doubt this board's software and database uses more than 50 GB of HD storage
Perhaps the costs are all to Val for the programming? Again, what do you mean by "substantial?"
Just curious (you brought it up). No big deal if you don't want to answer. It is no one's biz... but as Jack McCoy says on Law and Order to the defense counsel... "you opened the door."
