I'd love to know the monthly cost for using all of those hosted tools. Sounds very expensive.
That's pretty much it! What does it add up to? In general, I can tell you that it's a very small percentage of our expenses (salaries is where our $$ goes)...in a way we can't afford NOT to use these tools.

Basically, with Slicehost, you are paying to have 64 bit pointers - without that, the price difference isn't that big.
I would never change my hosting company if I would be fully satisfied and I would only be saving 100$ a month.
