Uh, first off all. Its not a service that needs constant babysitting. You set up it once and forget, probably forever.

Would it not need security updates? Testing the updates before (so maybe a separate test environment), and testing after? However infrequent, someone needs to be paid to do those things. Which costs money. (And all the other ancillary things involved with your typical "set-it-and-forget-it" service) Adam
