  No kidding, that is cheap; that's almost the cost of electricity to run a
100watt system 24/7. Their website show $12.45US/mo for (min.) 10 player
public server. I'd never looked into it, always preferred to roll my own,
so to speak. May save myself the trouble if I ever get into UT3 (still
waiting on that Linux client <grin>). Oh hey, there's a 32 player limit.
How am I gonna run my 128-player CTF server w/redeemer arena & nuke death?
Muhoohahahahaaaaaa...
