<div dir="ltr">I just went through all the statements (luckily they were online) and figured that I'm paying around $200US per site per year, so around $17US per month per site.<div><br></div><div>One other criteria that I need to consider is how easy it would be for any one of my users to access their email at the charity site. Right now I haven't issued email addresses to the other organizers simply because the getmail program on this site is not at all user friendly. So any new host (if I find one) would have to have webmail that older users could understand.</div>
