Looks like that money is appetizing for a Center of Open Science that the motto is to promote openness and transparency. Are such costs really transparent? There is no openness, much less transparency here. What kind of maintenance that would justify such excessive costs? "... the servers are hosted online by the non-profit Center for Open Science (COS)" A non-profit center and asks for $200,000 per year? How it would cost if it was for-profit, then? With less than one hundred dollar per year ($100), you can have dedicated hosting plans with unlimited space. Hosting 26 servers- or even up 100 servers with thousands text files per year- on one structured platform (OSF) should NOT cost that high fees, should it?
