Y'all reply like you guys know what you're talking about.
Costs of the server, server maintenance, bandwidth, datacenter, software, can all easily add up to thousands a month. It was just an estimate, but it's a fairly well-informed estimate. You'd be surprised how much it costs to run a popular, high-load website like ATRL.
Hivelocity Datacenter alone already costs many hundreds a month. Just look on their website. It also lists the prices for extra addons/extra support such as DDoS protection. You need to take all that into account as well.
besides, that wasn't even the point I was making. Point is the server costs money and running ads to make some of that money back isn't a rude or uncommon thing to do.
