Just how cheap can setting up the infrastructure for a startup be nowadays? I'm about to find out using Google App Engine (GAE) to host the website and Google Apps to carry some of the internal IT chores (in particular calendar and mail). FWIW, I really didn't care to use Google Apps until I found out that GAE requires it in order to have the www.yummymelon.com domain name mapped to it. There's still a fair bit of details to work through with regards to domain name handling which if I get the time I'll post about here.
