A million bucks for a hosting service? Damn - my $10 a month looks so paltry by comparison. That would keep my site going for over eight thousand years.
I know the GOP has special concerns - high volume, security, gigantic attack target - but c’mon. You know what I would do? I would find out who put together Hannah Montana’s website, and hire them - they have exactly the same set of concerns as the GOP, and I bet they’d work for a lot less.
Hell - I’d take the contract myself, and only charge them $750,000.
