If Ziroc wanted you to know what his bills are he would have posted them. I guess he want his privacy, heh?
You can do the math yourself. Servers DON'T have unlimited bandwidth. They pay for all of it. Servers use around 100 gigs all the way up to 1000 of gigs of transfer per month, and they get charged for every MB of it.
The way it work is that you usually get charged a flat rate for the X first gigs of bandwith, let's say the 70 gigs. Then they charge you for every extra MB. It's usually about 4-5 cents per MB. I just did some quick math, and at that price an extra 30 gigs cost 1500$. Obviously Ziroc has a better service than that, but as you can see it goes up fast.
And that's JUST the bandwidth. There are tons of other things to take into consideration. Both about the connection and web hosting in general.
