Not sure what type of servers you have, but if you wanna play this game, how many dots can each of your current servers support? Divide the cost of 1 server by how many dots you can fit on it, and we will have the cost per dot. Rough estimates are fine, but I dare you to calculate that. And I'm willing to bet everything I own that the cost per dot is less than $0.01.
Sites like youtube exist that have shitloads of hd video up on the interwebs that run only on ad revenue. Don't sit here and try to tell me that people creating additional dots at anything less than $30-$90 isn't cost effective. Even if dots were all $10 each, you want people to build as many dots as possible and should be happy to buy additional servers as necessary because it means you are making more bags of money...
