I think the server costs around $350/mo. I don't like to think how much time HN actually takes up, but when I was traveling recently I found that checking in for about 30 min a day was enough to keep things under control. On a weekday we get about 350k pageviews from about 30k unique ip addrs.

  I meant to ask, how much network traffic (bytes) do you see? I guess your hosting provider counts it, if you don't. And, while we're at it, what hosting provider do you use?

  He said 30 minutes per day, not every 30 minutes.

      Oh I don't know, perhaps it doesn't include the 4-projector basement monitoring screen in the basement, relaying real-time hits and anomalous voting patterns. Ahem.
