$179 U.S. dollars = $231.48AUD * 12 = $2,777.76

Want me to see what we can get in the way of a deal for it? clear costs?
plus the benefits for a year up front?

The thing tho is it takes time for us (little of it we have) so have to
be clear on what we want and ready to go for it.

The other option is to pay monthly, out of the account automagically,
and scrounge up the rest as we go. I think this is also a good option to
move ahead and now.

we could get a better server and pay monthly .. we just need a decision
on it.

The other option is to look at :
