I can host such a site (which is basically now a low-activity forum) for $50 a month on a VPS, that is $600 a year in server costs.

Really correct me if I'm wrong, kindly give me an example of a reputable $50 VPS that cannot handle the load or traffic.

I'm a supporter (although it may not appear as such), but not a yes-saying fanboy.

Fanboys don't drive things forward.
