Is it normal for a site to cost so much? I can't help but think that the HRWiki is some capitolist online company's cash cow. |

Yes, it's normal for a site of this size to cost this much to host. |

And host a forum with 471,880 posts, and another wiki with 28,272 pages? That seems unlikely. |

The server is a little big for the site, but some of that extra space and bandwith is sold at FellowSites, and that money is taken into account. But yes, it is normal for a site like this to cost this much, because it's not just about how much space it can hold - it's about having a high-powered server with a lot of bandwidth that can handle millions of visitors quickly and reliably. |

The amount of traffic we get necessitates quite a bit of server power. A phpBB forum is not exactly light on a server. Considering the number of posts we get here and the number of Marzipan/Cardboard Marzi fanfics we get over on the fanstuff wiki, I think we're getting a bargain. |
