Hi Dan,

I must congratulate you on the great forum you have going here. It is by far the best DN forum for domain speciulators. I have a question that might be a bit personal and you are not obliged to answer it if you don't want. If you do answer it, it does not have to be in public. You could just e-mail me or PM me. Here it comes:

How much are you paying a month to maintain this site?

The reason for asking is that I have plans to develop something similar, but not for domain specualtors. I just would like to have a cost estimation of the expenses of maintaining a site like this before I launch it.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Thanks for the comments about the site. It really isn't too costy right now at least, the vbulletin license is around $80 a year if I remember correctly, and the chat software is a bit less. And as for hosting, I should think about getting a dedicated server sometime soon probably, which will make things more expensive but make the site all around faster I would assume. So right now, the hosting is only around $20/month or so with the traffic I get. I think that covers all the expenses for this site.
