Total to handle being around the 200th most visited English language site according to Alexa is over US$436 per day or US$0.30 per minute. About 21 requests per cent including capital costs but that's misleading long term because eventually we will stop needing to buy so much hardware.
But 'eventually' can be far in the future. I think we will keep needing to buy more and more for the time being. As long as we keep growing faster than Moore's law, hardware costs will only increase, not decrease.
