Web server costs?

Hi all,

I was curious about your library web server budgets.

  *   Do you self-host? How much would estimate the yearly cost is including labor/sys administration?
  *   If you pay for hosting, how much would you estimate the yearly cost is to host your site?
  *   Do you have a dedicated librarian or staff to manage the web server?

Best,
