Sites are never "paid for" as such. You have to keep paying for bandwidth, processing, storage, power, etc. needed to serve the site up. That would be a significant ongoing cost for MW. You offset that with advertising revenue, but if you make your advertising obnoxious you drive everyone away and get no revenue anyway.
