> I'd already set up all the 301 redirects on the .co.uk domain and I had to piggy back on a server I ran for other clients.

I can cut my server costs to zero as well, if I just hide all of my personal domains on one of our work servers.

Anyway, couldn't he just as easily have used Tumblr, or stuck with WordPress?

The point is I could just have easily stuck with the .co.uk and kept it all completely free. To be honest I still could do it free by using a 3rd party redirection service for free, but this was a convenient way of doing it.

My "server costs" for my personal web page are $0 as well, I forward the URL to static HTML hosted on Wuala. It gets rewritten to a long, ugly URL nowdays (previously it was just content.wuala.com/.../~LazyJones or something like that), but it works, is reasonably fault-tolerant and can be edited locally on any device I want.
