It turns out that this is probably avoidable, by optimising some settings and fixing some lousy code. In this article I dive deep into what I'm facing, and what the solutions probably are. It includes billing, graphs, stats, and code from a real production application."

Have a look at http://witopia.net/. Works excellently, about US$40/year.
