no type is hosted by our friends at mnemonic.net since 1998...  i'm quite 
happy i didn't have to pay for such quality hosting at the 'normal' price, 
the costs would have killed me.  as for the domain name...  i think it 
conveys a certain seriousness to any web project, if anything.  plus, it's 
so cheap nowadays...

i don't know what the measure for success would be...  i tend to count the 
exterior visibility--i.e. when an artist initially discovered by us begins 
to make records on other labels for example.  this is particularly the case 
with us as we rarely work with established artists, who would no doubt 
increase our visitor count, but that's not what i'm in this for, personally.

have a nice day
