I didn't know alltunes was hosted on a commercial provider (aom3.org is hosted with hetzner), would have thought they managed their own servers.

Unfortunately I don't have deep pockets to fund and host this server myself, which is why there is advertising shown to guests.

They probably don't bother with the cost of a dedicated for alltunes since all the backend database and storage for it is actually on the same server as mp3sparks. Not sure why it's in Germany though.
