Well, all I can say is that the internet isn't free. All the hardware, network cable, power supplies, routers...all of that stuff was purchased, or built, by SOMEONE. Nobody that I know of builds that stuff and gives it away for free.

I don't know how I feel about that 7% increase ongoing...but I can't say as I've got a lot of room to complain. I remember not buying my own domain name only 6 or 7 years ago because it was upwards of $100 annually, and that was JUST the URL...hosting was ridiculously more. Don't you get them FREE these days, if you sign a 1 year hosting contract at $4.95 a month?

Gee, we are *so* getting ripped off.</sarcasm>
