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.

Short, sweet and to the point. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks pg! :)

Why do you need to check in every 30 minutes?

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.

How much traffic do you see in a month?

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?
