I remember Ali from Overload telling me it cost him £30 a month to keep that site running, excluding the actual manpower.

Seriously?? Whereabouts? A terabyte a month for 30 dollars sounds like a bloody good deal to me, I'd snap that up in a minute :) In answer to Alex's question, that's the sort of package the deephousepage site almost certainly runs on - the person who owns that site most probably doesn't own the server that hosts it, but instead has some sort of co-hosting deal where they've never physically seen the machine that serves up their site but just pay a company by the month to run it. Their site has no e-commerce component, though, so no need for SSL and the various other security, encryption and transactional shenanigans that Warp need to have on their own server. I do reckon, though, that all in all, the cost to Warp of setting up that site would have been a lot more than the cost of putting out two EPs. They probably do need something that's enterprise scale, IMHO, although hardly any other label in our field of electronic music would need to do that. Here's an example of a smaller label which is selling mp3s on its site, though, and whose setup costs would have been a *lot* lower than Warp's: http://www.djassault.com/audio.html Brendan ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
