Im 17, i have a vbulletin forum with a custom made skin which cost me $400 from a very talented designer (9thsector), i have only one advert on my forum and its a clan forum, im still making over $80pm in profit after deducting my loses. How can you be losing money.

I'm wondering the same thing as aceofspades. Why are so many people here spending more than $100/month on hosting when they only have a few thousand unique visitors/daily? I pay $70/month for a reseller account with Steadfast Networks. I host about 15 sites, and I have 500GB bandwidth/month. Only get a dedicated server if you really need it.

I can understand why some people are only breaking even, or making tiny profits, but losing any significant amount per month because of hosting means that you have a setup that is likely too expensive for your needs.
