Great question. Don't feel guilty for asking. It's perfectly acceptable.

The answer is simple. It depends on what package you're on. Furthermore, it also depends on how much bandwith you end up using. We would probably have to charge you extra for the BW you used. A one time digg is no problem.

Add to the fact that you don't know when you're going to be on the front page, and for how long, anything could happen.

Survive Digg servers and packages are specifically made with the intent on getting dugg - and getting dugg repeatedly. Not just Digg, but also from other high traffic sites that can create a surge of traffic. It's perfect for the professional blogger who experiences huge amounts of traffic at any time.

And besides, we were on the front page for about 5 minutes before being pulled down. Shame, but that is what we expected.
