bitcointalk.org has ad revenue, there's a weekly sell thread. blockchain.info - i believe they have fees on certain services |

.info is a $1.99 a year expense, I'm guessing they are on a shared server which could be under $9 a month. Not allot of people use Bitcoins so server traffic is probably low atm. I have unlimited bandwidth on a shared account for $100 a year. I'm assuming they have something similar As far as I know blockchain.info and bitcointalk.org is work for bitcoin support freely,

Er no. They are colocating their own servers in a data center and the development work on of their site is worth hundreds of thousands at least. |

Today we're on Private Internet Access. We pay for this by giving them one ad slot automatically in the weekly ad auctions and linking them on the bottom of each page. Given that ad slots usually run between $500 and $2000 per week, I'm not actually sure who's getting the better end of the deal, here... |

To them, it's only a good deal if we bring in more customers than server expenses. It's not like they can sell their slot to someone else. |

LOL, I must be crazy buying server hardware for between $5,000 and $10,000 per server and renting cabinets in the datacenter for colocation when I can get it unlimited for $9 per month. It costs 1000 Euro per month per cabinet in some datacenters (more in some, less in others) and that generally doesn't include any bandwidth which is a Euro or two per Mbps if you buy quite a lot of it - think of a 1 year commit of 500-1000 Mbps with dual Gbps fibre connections into your switches which you also have to buy at your own cost billed at 95% usage. The $9 per month VPS sellers are a stain on the ISP industry. |
