Hosting is not nearly as expensive as it used to be. With plenty of fast backbone capacity, most hosts are not charging exorbitant sums of money for bandwidth and many plans include unlimited bandwidth these days. Unless you do something stupid like host with cloud services (Azure, AWS, Google, etc.) you can get away relatively cheap with some good hosts out there. It's not like it was back in the 90s where everything was expensive and you had to pay big money to rent a dedicated server. Today you can get that cheap and quick either as a VPS or a real server even. Domains are cheap too, unlike the early days where it cost $70 to get a domain from Network Solutions who was the only game in town at the time.

It's all about code optimization.
It's important to remind (new) poalrs that Poal started off of a , the same base that was used in the early days of ( , love you guys, no homo :P ).
Every time we had to test a new feature, we did it on Poal instances running on Pi2/3 (lol) and on Boobs server (donated by pembo), and if it was running fine, that would mean it was showtime ready.
I remember Boobs refreshing Poal as I was uploading the new code. He couldn't wait to see it running live, just like a kid eager to play with his new Christmas toy :D
Poal-lore is the best lore.
Happy Ocho de Poal, Boobs.
