unfortunately most of our expenses are labor! hosting expenses aren't that bad, all told. but we're not in imminent danger of running out of money either way, so don't worry too much.

don't get me wrong though! it'll probably save us at least $100 a month in the near term -- we've been using way more database than we really need to, apparently -- and that's not nothing.
