A simple open question: what web services do you pay for online?

My answers are: - Flickr: I have a pro account… $24.95/year. - eBay: I have sold items on eBay, thus I pay them listing fees and a % of final sale. This has only been a couple dollars over many years of eBay usage. - Akismet: This is the anti-comment-spam service from Automattic. Based on my level of usage, I don’t have to pay for it, but I do anyway. I’ll likely stop paying for it now that I have switched to Disqus. I believe it was $5/month. - Dreamhost: They host my blog, in addition to a number of sites and email accounts I manage in a consulting gig for a little income on the side. It costs about $10/month. - NetFlix: I consider this a web service because the majority of my NetFlix consumption comes through their new online streaming offerings. Cost is $13.99/month. - Skype: I don’t have a Skype Pro account, but I do pay for SkypeOut minutes. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than getting a landline. I spend about $3/month in SkypeOut calls.
