Those escalating costs are a threat to your finance department, and they may also point to an underlying infrastructure issue. For instance, you could be firefighting a "lemon" hosting solution, and it's only a matter of time before something important breaks. Rather than wait until something does go wrong, as Virgin Blue did, look to a hosting provider that will stay ahead of these issues.
