I posted this question before at
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=336813 and never
really got the type of answer I was looking for.  I figured I would
give it a try again and see if anyone can help me with this.  I've
added a few details which should make it easier for the researcher.

***

I'm looking to find financial information on a small to medium-sized
web hosting company (above $1 million but no larger than $20 million
in annual revenue).  I'm looking for a company that is a "pure" web
host
(rather than offering other services like consulting, network design,
etc.) and preferably one that caters primarily to individuals or small
businesses.

The financial info that I'm looking for is a breakdown of their cost
structure.  How much is spent on bandwidth, hardware, software,
customer support, marketing, corporate, etc.  The more detailed, the
better.  I'm particularly interested in a breakdown of fixed costs vs.
variable costs as well as any significant costs that I have not listed
above.

Please let me know if this question requires any clarification.  Thanks!

Most web hosts of this size are not publicly traded so they do not
disclose their financial information.

At one time I owned a small web hosting company. One man show with
income of about 5K per month, my total cost were about $400 on leased
servers and 1-3 hours of my time - daily. I marketed completely in
free web hosting directories.
