Server support (per server) $750 (USD)* $2750 (USD)*
Checking the Ubuntu website first, it doesn't specify how many servers the
support charge covers. After checking the Canonical website just now I see
that it does.

To be honest it's terrible marketing. If you ommit info on one website that
can be found on another, it makes it look like you're embarrased or unsure
about the amount that you're charging.

If I had 10 servers I wouldn't pay $27,500 for email/telephone support
covering only the operating system.
