There's a perfect use case for this: if you think your company stands a chance of running out of money in the future, but you just got an infusion of VC funding now... $38K isn't a large amount.

$38K is an insurance policy that will keep the marketing front end of your company's site online "forever", long after you run out of VC money and shutter the company. Keeps your vanity up and running, your fond memories.

It turns your hosting costs from a monthly expense to a "permanent" capital expense that's already paid for.
