Running a site like Blockchain is really expensive.

To find the owner of the site visit WhoisXY.com Here they provide whois search tool which displays the details of a particular domain like domain registrant, domain owner information, contact details and so on.If that domain was registered under private registration then the registrant & some other details are hidden by proxy.

This forum used to be hosted by MtGox. Not sure about today.

Today we're on Private Internet Access. We pay for this by giving them one ad slot automatically in the weekly ad auctions and linking them on the bottom of each page. Given that ad slots usually run between $500 and $2000 per week, I'm not actually sure who's getting the better end of the deal, here...

To them, it's only a good deal if we bring in more customers than server expenses. It's not like they can sell their slot to someone else.

it works i signed up to them as soon as there ads appeard did a bit of research torrentfreak stand behind them and they accept bitcoins... didnt take me long after that to take a years service Cheesy

blockchain.info is run by a UK guy or group and on there own dedicated server (its not an uber server maybe quadcore at best) it was run off a mac mini before the last upgrade (shows how well its written)

.info is a $1.99 a year expense, I'm guessing they are on a shared server which could be under $9 a month. Not allot of people use Bitcoins so server traffic is probably low atm. I have unlimited bandwidth on a shared account for $100 a year. I'm assuming they have something similar

LOL, I must be crazy buying server hardware for between $5,000 and $10,000 per server and renting cabinets in the datacenter for colocation when I can get it unlimited for $9 per month.

It costs 1000 Euro per month per cabinet in some datacenters (more in some, less in others) and that generally doesn't include any bandwidth which is a Euro or two per Mbps if you buy quite a lot of it - think of a 1 year commit of 500-1000 Mbps with dual Gbps fibre connections into your switches which you also have to buy at your own cost billed at 95% usage.

The $9 per month VPS sellers are a stain on the ISP industry.

Er no. They are colocating their own servers in a data center and the development work on of their site is worth hundreds of thousands at least.

bitcointalk.org has ad revenue, there's a weekly sell thread.

blockchain.info - i believe they have fees on certain services
