Well dirt cheap from an IT-savvy business owner perspective. A million a year spent properly for a domestically hosted site, half that for US hosted. HN toys Myer DJ etc have arguably hundreds of millions revenue with a lot coming from their online presence. Anyway, not a new problem, business managers have been failing at it for thousands of years.<br>

<div>I wouldn't say it's dirt cheap. High
volume websites do cost a bit to run properly.<br>
Just look at any company with a large online presence and the
investments they make in to infrastructure (and if they're a
public company you can probably find their spends)<br>
