That feels like a lot. I think most of it is due to the large sizes of the WordPress admin php pages. Under NearlyFreeSpeech.NET (NFSN), I am paying based on how much bandwidth I use, which is good because I don’t expect to have many readers right now and so under NFSN’s payment plan, I predict paying substantially less than $6/month – a typical price for other cheap web hosting.

Right now, I am being charged at $1 per GB transferred. Since I have used 10MB from the website and another 20MB from downloads and uploads (mostly from installing Movable Type and WordPress), I have to pay $0.03 for the four days that I have had this site. With that trend, I would have to pay about $0.23/month for bandwidth. I also have to pay $0.01/day for MySQL and $0.02/day for email forwarding. Altogether, I would have to pay about $1.13/month. That’s pretty cheap! Thus, NFSN is awesome.

Edit: I forgot to mention that NFSN also charges for storage at the rate of $0.01 per megabyte-month, which isn’t much, unless I am storing like a GB of stuff on my account.

Edit 2: I’m using about 8mb right now, so $0.08 per month. Pretty good. =)
