FYI Hosting Costs: Our hosting bill went up a lot more than expected. What happened is the colo forgot to bill us for the electricity going into our original cage (5 racks). When we asked for a new contract for another cage, they went back and looked at the original contract and realize they had forgotten to bill us for 13 electric circuits which cost $300/mo each. That accounts for an increase of $3900/mo. We are getting 2 new racks @ $800 each plus 9 more circuits for those racks. The 2 new racks w/electric cost a total of $4,300/mo. We are still getting 2 or 3 free racks and 3 free circuits, value $3,000/mo. Michael
