So I don't really understand this stuff, but I bet somebody out there
does.  I need a reality check.



We pay a small provider a modest fee (like $40/month) to host our
website.  The website is "built" in Drupal.  There are rather frequent
updates to Drupal which is apparently a function of its open-source
nature.  Anyway my web hoster charges us $100 per hour to install the
updates ($400 this month).  Is this normal or was I born yesterday?



Thanks.
