In the real world, it would take many years to reach the final total.

I doubt we will ever know what the rejected quotes were.
Can I just ask, how do you know that £10k is 'about right'?
Especially as it was a site never fit for purpose?
In the real world since Roy started Accyweb he has moved on from using free software and renting space on someone else's servers to running two servers of his own which because of the amount of space taken by everything are upgraded sometimes as quickly as after 18 months.
The software isn't cheap, he is planning another upgrade for that has all ready purchased it just doesn't have time to install it due to work commitments.
Although these and sundry other overheads have to be paid for, I doubt very much that even though the site has been running since 2003 the total expenditure would be anything like that figure, if it was he just wouldn't be able to afford it.
