Millions play on the server so the server should have at least 340,000,000$ i dont see it getting bankrupt if that happens
A lot of the people that logged onto MCSG only played a few times, and then never came back. And it was only what, 4-5 million? Somewhere around there. I don't think we've hit 5 million yet, but I'm not sure. And many people don't donate - in fact, most don't. Where are you getting your number from? And server hosts often cost around 10$ USD for a single Gigabyte of RAM per month, or in other words roughly 24 slots, which is the size of the average MCSG server. (I checked a few months ago, so it might actually be 2 GBs, or 1.5.) There's hundreds of servers. 100 servers =
1,000-2,000 per
month. There's more than 100 servers in US alone. They also probably purchase high-end DDoS and lag protection, which could up the prices a lot,
easily up to 3,000$ for 100 servers.*

These calculations were done based off of my personal experience researching server hosts in general, and CubedHost in particular, as I've wanted to rent a server from them for around 1.5 years but never got around to it. MCSG also could possibly get cheaper deals because of the bulk amounts of business that they give the hosts.
