If you look carefully, my client's website is a subdomain of a cloud service. My client is using his pre-existing cloud space for a fun diversion. If he didn't host his log service on a provider he already pays in full (ie: no cost for this), he could just as easily move it to a free service. Is Angelfire still around?
More broadly, owning a domain costs real life money, obviously. Let's say Player 1 owns a site dedicated to p1999, say 'p1999awesomesauce.com'. Do you call RMT the first time someone uses this site to offer an in-game service for in-game compensation, just because at some point 'some' real life money had to have changed hands for the site to run?
Interesting arguments. I like them, keep it coming. Now I wish I actually was getting billable hours.
